      ridiculous characters and unrealistic dialogue - not even finished and it's already a one-star read!

      This is horrifically bad story, and I can't wait to see how much more CRAPTASTIC it can get! A baby just popped out of Nora, like a top off a soda bottle.

      slave is mailed to her & he jumps out of the box asking her about her farming needs. This is so stupid. Henry Box Brown- true slave mailed to his freedom, would be ashamed at this garbage.

      A runaway slave just picks Mary's house in MI and just knocks on the door not knowing if he will be apprehended, but expecting some help? Bullshit!

      this all "told" vs "shown" writing style
Elizabeth calls her sister after 2 yrs of not talking and she just is like, oh ok, here's the info you wanted.
Nora, just lets Elizabeth into her home because she's been told that Elizabeth is a relative from Nora's own sister who doesn't even know Elizabeth. Nora's sister thinks Nora has the early onset of dementia. Elizabeth just shows up, is given a room after 5 mintues
