Once again Kim Vogel Sawyer has come up with a solid piece
of Americana and a great story. This
story takes place at the Atlanta Cotton Exposition of 1895. The story explores
the relationships between black and white people in that time period and
place. Ms. Sawyer has developed some
complex characters that tell the story well. The details of the Exposition are
interesting as well and give an excellent portrayal of what interested and
entertained people in that era.
As always, I love the way the author pulls the characters’
faith into the story and makes it an integral, albeit matter of fact part of
the tale. It would be an honor to be
friends with these folks and I’m only sorry that they are not real people that
I could get to know. This is the magic
of Ms. Sawyer -- she makes me want to step right into the story.
I received this book as part of a group organized by the
author / publisher to promote the publication of this book. All thoughts
expressed here are my own. I joined the
group because I am a big fan of Kim Vogel Sawyer’s writing and once again she
more than met expectations.
