The Red Rose Box | Brenda Woods

2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

On her tenth birthday, Leah receives a surprise gift from glamorous Aunt Olivia, Mama's only sister, who lives in Los Angeles. It is a red rose box. Not many people in 1958 Louisiana have seen such a beautiful traveling case, covered with red roses, filled with jewelry, silk bedclothes, expensive soaps...and train tickets to California. Soon after, Leah and her sister, Ruth, find themselves in Hollywood, far away from cotton fields and Jim Crow laws. To Leah, California feels like freedom. But when disaster strikes back home, Leah and Ruth have to stay with Aunt Olivia permanently. Will freedom ever feel like home?

The Red Rose Box | Brenda Woods

Two Louisiana sisters visit their aunt in Los Angeles and NYC, 1953. Lots of history & lessons but I‘m probably too distracted by work right now to give this a decent review.

Yayyyy!! My little one just received some serious #bookmail from her auntie and I don't know who is more excited! I'm going to love reading these books to her and with her, though some may have to wait until she's a little older (she's 18m)!!
