This book I loved. I was so into the book. It surely talks about what life was like once the Civil War ended. The North won. It tell about the south trying to get life back to normal and how they wanted the way it was. This book show you of how some slaves were treated during this time.

It tell a story about slave were once they were treated. There another story though as well but it I do not want to give way much. If you enjoy Historical fiction or Histoy of America this is really a good book to read. If you do not read Historical Fiction, I still recommend it you for it something to read and different then your your normal genre. You choose for yourself.

A Brilliant Read
Aside from the romance and the fairly surprising twist this book is a brilliantly written historical fiction based around real life events, the main characters are interesting and the action is fantastically written, this is a book I have read several times and is still very much a page turner for me.

In Macallister's second novel, she takes on telling the story of Kate Warne, America's (and maybe the world's) first female detective, who walked into the Pinkerton's Detective Agency in 1856 and insisted Pinkerton take her on as an agent. Find out what I thought of this historical fiction novel in my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/03/03/becoming-the-first/
