What a soul searching novel or novella. Well written, with plenty of vivid imagery to bring the characters to life. Carrie has written this first piece of the Cry of Freedom with enough drama and suspense that I as a reader was kept turning pages rapidly (or in this case, as it is an ebook, sliding from page to page) to find out what was happening next. Learn first hand through her writing what life was like in the deep south during the civil war...secrets kept not for the sake of keeping secrets, but because lives actually depended on it. Would I be willing to do what Angelina, a freed slave working as a seamstress in slave country did? Matthew too is keeping secrets, and his family kept secrets from him. How sad that sometimes we think we are doing others a benefit by not telling them something, and even more devastating to know that racism is still being practiced today.I was immediately drawn into Carrie's story, and was disappointed when it came to a close. I want to know what happens to the family and will be watching for a sequel.I received this ebook free from Fred and Nora at bookfun.org,  in exchange for an honest review. A positive critique was not required.
