5 Star book- A beautifully written book
The author of this book, Tonya Bolden is a really good writer, historian, and storyteller. This book is for readers that are teens and in high school. This book is based on the Civil War and during the times of slavery. If you are a person that is interested in history, this book will be amazing to read.The book is told from pov's of slaves that were then freed why the Yankees soldiers. The freed slaves then join along with the soldiers on the march south. Among those that were freed was a young lady named Mariah and her younger brother Zeke. They both go in the wagon with another black man but was free before and begin their journey. Both Caleb and Mariah had a somewhat connection but didn't become anything in the beginning. Throughout the story, the freed slaves talk about the things they went through as slaves, the beatings, rape, and physical and mental abuse and this give a person a thought of how did people think this was okay to do back in the 1800's. The main characters of the story, Caleb and Mariah both have the connection and their trust starts to get stronger, and this makes the book 100x better. Mariah happy to be free and to live with no worry but still knowing that there is an enemy still out there. And the enemy was really close in some way. I have never heard about the story of the Crossing the Ebenezer Creek and this gives me chills because what the freed slaves went through was beyond terrible. The freed slaves had finally had hope to finally live. But this wasn't the case when crossing Ebenezer Creek. The slaves that were freed from the Union army and helped were then just betrayed and got played. This ending is a really deep ending and sad ending. Just to find out they finally have hope and to finally to trust someone for it to be ended and get betrayed.Overall this book is a good book if you are interested in history or like learning about new things. This book will open your eyes more and start wondering how did people live like this. I would definitely recommend this book, and hope kids read this at school. 5/5 star.
