So excited! #playhouseSquare #cle
And so my journey on The Underground River ends. Although there was a bit of a setup for a sequel so we‘ll see. It took exactly halfway through the book for involvement in the Underground Railroad to begin. The next quarter was really slow which took me awhile to get through. Ending had more action and held my interest again. Between a pick and a so-so for me. #historicalfiction #undergroundrailroad #cle #clevelandauthor #theatre #ohioriver
In 1905, young Lucia & her mom immigrate from Italy to Cleveland. Maybe that's a bit of why I love it. Living outside Cleveland & having family roots there made Lucia's journey familiar to me. Every time she took a streetcar, I imagined my great-greatgrandfather as the brakeman. You couldn't help rooting for Lucia as she went from Central High to the garment workers' strike of 1911 & everything in between.
