The strength of the pioneers of those who have gone before us unfolds beautifully in this book. The thread of strength of two very similar yet vastly different women woven together in this novel reminded me of what it means to grow wings and soar.Top rated San Antonio Movers websitehttp://www.sanantoniomovers.pro/index.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-75737658840611483822014-08-25T06:33:11.396-04:002014-08-25T06:33:11.396-04:00We believed some aggravation going between a coupl...We believed some aggravation going between a couple of figures, as i typically detest double narratives, but it really worked well sufficiently personally in this particular a single.

I loved the story and found the characters convincing and engaging and, for me, the dual narrative was very effective. I found the Grimke sisters' story fascinating and was lucky enough to get a copy of "The Grimke Sisters From South Caroline" by Gerda Lerner which is well researched and very readable (recommended).<br /><br />I am sure there will be a film in the pipeline - hope so!Jan Clydesdalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-55126066787010922822014-03-18T21:50:33.742-04:002014-03-18T21:50:33.742-04:00Novels with strong female characters?

I wanted more of one of them so I could attach to her story. The writing was pretty awesome though.
