pickReally terrific historical fiction set in the Jim Crow South about 2 sisters, one of whom is on the run after killing her white rapist. I‘ve not read Morris before but she really has a way with setting the time and place as well as family dynamics. Ripped through it in a single sitting.

This book was really quite good. The middle was a tad slow-ish but other than that it held my attention and stirred my emotions, plus that ending…didn‘t feel like it came out of nowhere with a bunch of crazy twists. The author kept things real and captured the tumultuous times with candor and heart.
pickIt‘s 1964 Mississippi and Violet has just killed a white man. She knows what this means for her as a black woman and runs, but ends up with something in her possession that implicates some folks who start hunting for her. I really enjoyed this. Morris is now an auto read for me.
pickAnother great read from Morris. This one was set in 1964, so in addition to being a suspense, it had the historical fiction element of being set in the 'Jim Crow“ south. The tale of the two sisters, separately on the run from things in their past and the depiction of the realities of their lives as opposed to what the 'law' said was an impactful reminder of my own privilege. Add that to a great story and this was a winning read. 4.5/5 stars.
