Review: Addy's Story
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 19, 2014
The series of stories, including this one, focus on the plight of orphans, female in particular, in post Civil War era New Orleans, when slavery (of all kinds) really continued unchecked and largely unchanged.  Addy, escapes to Nowhere, with a 'petticoat pregnancy' as a ruse to foil the flesh-traders who would kidnap her.  It is an all's well that ends well, narrative, but the reader is left with little doubt regarding the outcomes for most children and young women in the same situation.Unlike the first two books in this series, the end has a delightful twist to bring a chuckle to the reader's heart.
