A very average read about indigo plantations in Colonial America. The book really didn't go into much detail about any of it, but I did learn that indigo dye is made from a paste that is dried into blocks. Honestly, the book could have benefited from being about 5-10 pages longer, with just a little more detail. As it was, it was pretty solidly okay.
