#WeHopeForBetterThings #ErinBartels #BookSpinBingo #JoyousJanuary

Detroit Free Press reporter Elizabeth Balsam meets James Rich. He requests that she look up a relative she didn't know she had in order to deliver an old camera and a box of photos. She learns the remarkable stories of two women who lived in a 150 year old farmhouse and their courage in the face of war and racism.

EadieB This is Erin Bartels debut novel and it takes readers on a journey through the streets of 1960s Detroit to the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. I have read and enjoyed all of Bartels' novels and found this to be a very emotional read with excellent research of our American history and interesting characters. If you enjoy American history, then you will enjoy this book. 3y

My vacation read 🏝 The story takes place in 3 different time periods: Civil war era, 60s Detroit race riots era and present day with its racial tensions. It follows interracial relationships in 3 generations of one family living through these eras. It left me hoping the female protagonist can overcome her family‘s past and break through any remaining barriers society has set. 4⭐️s Excellent.
