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!

You Never Forget Your First
by Alexis Coe
View in Library Catalog
This is a biography of George Washington that takes a closer look at myths and stories surrounding him that we have always thought true and debunks them. This book makes you realize though Washington was a great man, he wasn't perfect. I recommend it as the author brings up many interesting facts about him that makes you see him more clearly, faults and all.
