This was a great book! It kept me engaged and it also kept me guessing and wondering about the mysteries throughout. The writing style was good, and I enjoyed the way the characters were written and also developed!!
Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

Vanessa Miller does it again!!! This book was amazing!! The Tulsa massacre is a part of American history, not just black history. This country wants to erase what happened and the details. Why no one helped these people?? The firefighters, policemen, or other human beings. This is a point of view of a family that not only went thru it but got thru it. The verifiable details in this book, will have you going to google as you read…(cause I did lol) cause it’s unreal that this happened, that the city and state let this happened and everyone got away with it. Thank you Vanessa for schooling me yet again!

The Filling Station by Vanessa Miller is a beautifully written love letter to the memory of the people of Greenwood who suffered great persecution and devastation during the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921.

This book follows two sisters, Margaret and Evelyn as they live and learn the true meaning of resilience, restoration and refuge after suffering great loss during the Tulsa Race Massacre. I don’t want to say more because the joy and anguish of watching these characters unfold and the journey they take can only be felt by reading it for yourself.

I couldn’t put this book down because I loved all of the deep rooted characters, and I needed to see how love would overcome hatred and beauty would come from the ashes.

Thank you to Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for an advanced reader e-book to honestly read and review.

O-M-G! Vanessa Miller has done it again. This story was well written and the author shares so much history of the Tulsa Race Massacre. In the story, you have one sister who wants to preserve their father’s legacy and another who has big dreams. The sisters face many obstacles, but the teachings from their father and the Threatt family help them endure. The story of the Filling Station is very informative and will have you experiencing so many emotions and you can definitely relate to each character. This story was so enlightening that I had to stop reading and look up some of the history that was shared. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books by this author. Well done!

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.
