If you ever read a book by Jesmyn Ward, it could be a little on the slower side, but the message if often very powerful and dives deep into a topic of hope and overcoming an obstacle. In this story we meet Annis, a young girl living in slavery sold of by her slaveholding father. She uses the magical strength of her mother and grandmother to survive the journey from her original plantation to the next. I hope you receive the message this story portrays in this month of Mothers. Happy Reading!
