This was an interesting and entertaining read! I love to read a book about a real person and to learn something new. I hadn't heard of Elizabeth McDuffie a White Housemaid, who rose to become a fearless Civil Rights advocate, but she was a passionate, courageous and strong woman! The author does a wonderful job describing her feelings of helplessness and the dangers she faced but also the triumphs! Overall, it was an entertaining read that really brought an amazing picture of a brave woman who stood up for what she thought was right! I would recommend to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. Thanks to NetGalley for the audio ARC to preview.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this audio book.
I loved this book. I thought the story was great and the ready was very good. I learned a lot of history that I went and googled just to find out the facts.

Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, known as the “Black Swan,” was a groundbreaking Black opera singer born into slavery and later raised in Philadelphia’s Quaker community. The Personal Librarian by Tiffany L. Warren follows her rise to fame, performing on stages across America and at Buckingham Palace. Despite facing racism and danger, her extraordinary voice and determination made her unforgettable.
