In volume 2 of the Webster Fields Trilogy, we find that the Webster Family is still being negatively affected by jealousy, racism, and greed. Again, Mercedes Keyes pulls the reader back in time to an age where the color of your skin greatly affects the course of your life. With one child already taken from them and sold into slavery, Lena and Manny are faced with the happiness of a brief reunion, but then ripped apart again by the treachery of his wife Katherine. This middle story navigates you through the results of Katherine's unbelievabley hateful acts, focusing mainly on the path it sent the Webster children, Mike and Hope. Again, I am in awe of the masterful way that this author is able to pull characters back together and in a seamless manner, documenting a narrative of their time both together and apart. I must also note that the editing was an improvement over the last volume. Good story...starting on the last volume tonight, and I can't wait to see how she brings about the conclusion for this family.
