One of my favorite authors, did not disappointment!

Although touted as Rice's first "Young Adult" novel on the book jacket, this book is in our Adult Fiction section and I think it is just as appropriate for adult readers. The content regarding texting while driving is relevant to any person behind the wheel and the theme of the bond between sisters resonates for any age. Rice's usual insights into families, love and the ups and downs that all entail are once again prevalent in this book. A quick read, I would recommend it as a great addition to any beach or pool bag!

This is a great book to read for little readers. I enjoyed reading this book because it was easy to read and I love Disney Stories.

The book goes back & forth between Slaverytime & Freedomtime around the Civil War. The mother is Miss May Belle & daughter is Rue. Miss May Belle is a healer, midwife & conjures curses on people. She teaches her daughter her craft. Rich in descriptions of plantation working & family life. Superstition & fear surround a boy named Bean that Rue birthed with a “caul”. Rue fears the boy & feels the need to protect him from the others on the plantation who accuse the little boy of bringing a deadly sickness to the other children. A preacher comes to the plantation & gets involved with “saving” the sinners,Bean & Rue through baptism. Theres a lot going on in the story between relationships of plantation owner, his daughter Varina, Rue, the preacher & May Belle. This is fiction based on history & I loved it!

The Sisterhood books are always a great read. This time they help a young woman, who lost everything, get her revenge.

Great historical fiction centered on the actual newspaper ads listed in southern newspapers searching for lost family members following the abolition of slavery. The story dovetails the life of a former slave and the life of a present day teacher in Augustine, Louisiana. As their stories progress, though 100 years apart, the connections between the two are made with the discovery of a hidden book.
