This debut novel from Rita Woods is amazing; I highly recommend it! She creates characters that come to life as their stories unwind and are aptly woven together. The voices of these women of color from different countries, regions, and circumstances pull the reader into the story that wanders between present day Ohio, Pre-Civil War New Orleans, and Colonial Haiti of the late 1700's. I went between the print version and the audiobook. I enjoyed the audiobook read by the talented Ella Turenne and highly recommend this version.
