The plot was interesting and the best part of the novel. It needed more development. The dialogue was flat and stilted. Still worth it to read though.

Truly heartbreaking tale of slavery in the southern states. Narrated by two very different characters, the story weaves together seamlessly and beautifully. A real page turner, definitely recommend!

If you love to read about the downfall of Montezuma by Cortez you will really enjoy this book. The battle descriptions are well done. This is told in the first person by Montezuma, Cortez and a female Mexican named Flower. I loved how this told about Flower and what she was going through in her life at this time. Well done. I received a copy of this book from Smith Publicity for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

Excellent story of early Alabama during slavery in the US; a good history lesson as well as a gripping story of the Allen Family Cotton Plantation and the slaves who were owned by this family and their quest for freedom. Overall I loved the book - the journey of Sarah's life both heart wrenching and encouraging. The ending however, was somehow thrown in your face that it actually changed my opinion of the main characters and left me feeling that it wasn't true to the rest of the story. I don't know if this was suppose to be a true story or not - only - the ending epilogue left me feeling that either the main description of the characters was misleading throughout the book or the ending was contrived and thrown in for shock value.… (mais)
