Beautiful Writing Highlighting Little-Known History for Those on the East Coast
This book gave a sorrowful and elegant finish to a history I had no knowledge of. It’s an important story and one that helped me learn of a strength, grace, and determination of a community across the country from me. Highly recommended.
