So, here we meet Ivy.  Ivy is a young girl in he 1950s, when things were a lot different and the races were still separate.  The rural US was a very different place back then.  There were no electronics to entertain, so you have to find your own adventures.  But Ivy's family has some secrets of their own.  \Ivy's story caught my attention in a way that history always does.  Every once in a while, I enjoy a good little historical read.  I even enjoy quick little reads from time to time.  But, I wanted more from Ivy.  I wanted there to be more substance.  I just wanted more.You see, many would see a story that leaves you wanting more as a great thing.  But I got this "something is missing" feeling.  I know this is basically a glimpse of what is to come in a novel and the novel will probably answer all of my unanswered questions, but I just felt ...missing.I am not saying the story line is bad, or there were editing issues, because neither of those is the case.  I think the author captured the time period and the backgrounds very well.  I will read the novel when it releases because I need to know what happens to the baby.  If you like historical fiction and want a quick read, then you should definitely pick this up.Thank you to the publisher for a review copy.
