Wow! I'm absolutely floored. My first time hearing about this incident and I'm very saddened by the events in this story.
Margaret is the bravest person I know. Strong, hopeful, determination those are words that I will used to describe her.
I didn't like Evelyn so much. So selfish and self centered. Spoiled even. But I understand how this event can affect people in different ways. Evelyn was proof of that.
I'm truly amazed at how humans can be so cruel to each other. As this book states
We are made in God's image. To Him, we are all important. I was so angry and upset at the beginning of this story.
Why would God allow this to happen? I even wonder that myself.
This is a good history lesson for everyone. I loved the story because it shows that there are good people still around and that hope is never lost.
It's a hard story to read but it will make you stop and think. I even looked it up on Google. It's based on true events. Events should never have happened.
Sad that such tragic events happen to draw people to work together.
I did find myself rooting for the people of Greenwood. They continued to make me proud of them. I enjoyed in getting to know this wonderful community of Greenwood.
5 stars from me for the well written and researched story that still leaves me thinking about this terrible tragedy.
I highly recommend and please have a box of tissues beside you. You will cry.
My thanks for a copy of this wonderful book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.
