The Journey Begins is a beginning, and an end, an interconnecting of lives interrupted, ripped away, by a society of oppression, a dark period in American history, when slaves were considered possessions.  The writing is tender, nostalgic, for the reader understands the background upon which these times weighed on the characters. This is the prequel to Meador's Journey to Freedom, the glimpse into lives, destined to interweave in love, suppression, tragedy, and abiding friendship.It is written tightly and with heart, and holds the reader throughout, but it needs to be read in conjunction with its sequel for a fuller view to be grasped and understood, although without it, it still stands alone as a lovely read that I recommend for the whole family.
