I thought that this book was wonderfully and beautifully written.  Within the timeframe allotted so much history and familiar authentic sights and sounds were ignited (baking soda paste for grout- omg).  I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  The emotions of joy and fear pulsated from the pages.  The softly taken breaths, the fumbling in the dark  for sure footing, the smell of cooking ham and collared greens in a humid house.  Yep, I know bout it bout it -lol.  I was able to actually feel the waste high grass as they walked through the field.  The oppressive heat as they suffered Georgia's temperature and ignorance.  The pain as each gave up everything, everything to be with each other and the knowledge that they would never have a portion of their lives again.  Was it worth it?  He didn't have to but he did it!  The cast of characters that supported them were awesome.  OMG Mr. Harris.  I am crying again thinking of him.  I still have really warm feelings from the last chapter of this book.  I held my breath for most of the chapter because I had a sinking feeling that something was going to go wrong.  I was so pulling for this couple.  Well done Ms. Wells. What a ride. I highly recommend this book and really hope there is a sequel!My theme for this book:  Love Will Find A Way - Is it hard this life you're living. Does the world seem so unkind. Don't you worry love will find a way.
