Another fantastic book on equality, Robin Talley did an amazing job with this novel she wrote this story beautifully and with such detail and horror it felt as if I was witnessing these atrocious deeds first hand. The pace of the writing was perfect and kept me engaged the entire way through and the characters are perfectly written. This is sadly STILL a controversial topic and it makes me sad to know that these things really happened to people just because they are different.
I felt so strongly for Sarah and Linda they had enough going against them, a life time of being raised by a strong belief of segregation and racism, but to not only be different from each other but also different in the fact they want to be friends, then to also have a whole other difference that brings on a whole other type of confusion and fear. Sarah and Linda seemed to not only have their friends, family and society against them but they also had their religious beliefs shaken up.
This is just a really amazing novel about some incredibly strong topics, it brought all of my emotions to the surface through out the story and made me feel incredibly lucky to have been raise in a time where we are almost all welcomed, accepted, celebrated and loved for our differences. Skin color, race, religion, sexual orientation, or even just our core beliefs. This is a book I feel everyone should read at least once, so please go out and get it, curl up and read it, love the SHIT outta it and come back here and tell me and the rest of the world what your thoughts and reactions are!
