"Hope hurts."

This book is wrecking me. 2/3 complete

This book is not something you rush through. You sit with the grief. You feel the unrelenting sun and humidity. You acknowledge the depth that slavery carved into so many lives in the Americas and Caribbean Islands. So much devastation. Emancipation is just a word if the people are still in bondage.
