Started this. It‘s about Benedict Arnold and George Washington‘s relationship during the Revolutionary War. It covers four years, starting in the spring of 1776. So far, so good. I‘ve read Philbrick‘s “Bunker Hill” and “Mayflower” and enjoyed them both.

This is the story of Ona Judge, a woman enslaved by our first president (alongside A LOT of others) who found her way to freedom and stayed free for the rest of her life. Not only is it well written with a superb audio reader (💙 Robin Miles!), it emphasizes some of our history that certain people would rather we not know. I can‘t think of a better reason to read it right now.

lil1inblue This was a really good read. It's been a while since I read it, but the fact that Washington once sold an enslaved person "for a quantity of wine" has stuck with me. 1mo
lil1inblue I read this children's book with it for a reading challenge. She based it on this book. I found the art so intriguing. 1mo
