It is based on true characters - the Grimke sisters, Sarah and Angelina - who were I already love Sue Monk Kidd so no surprise that I loved this book. It is based on true characters - the Grimke sisters, Sarah and Angelina - who were the first women abolitionists in the early 1800s. The story was told from the time Sarah was 4 years old into adulthood, one chapter from her perspective and one chapter from the perspective of the slave she was gifted from her parents at age 11. At the end Sue Monk Kidd gives a pretty detailed layout of how much of the book is historically accurate and how much she fictionalized. There are some pretty gruesome descriptions of slavery in this book, probably wouldn't have been able to handle it until I was college-age but I'm a wimp for that kind of stuff, but an incredible read. One of those great stories that will also make you a better person and help you appreciate everything more. ...more [notes] notes Notes are private!
