Ragtime. The only thing I know about it was that Scott Joplin was one of its composers. So learning about this era of American musical history, and the genre through a biographical, historical fiction novel was truly tempting! Find out what I thought of this book in my newest #bookreview on my blog now. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2018/12/07/the-rise-and-fall-of-ragtime/
  
What would make a 19th century woman write such a marvelous horror story that to this day, her book is the first one we think of when we think of the ultimate monster? To find out, read my review of this fascinating historical fiction novel that focuses on Mary Shelley, the author of the book "Frankenstein" https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/09/05/the-monsters-within/

"Echo is exactly the kind of female you expect from a Maya Daniels novel. She is strong and feisty, certainly not the kind of female to just accept and obey."

I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED this book! The title and cover are a bit deceiving but this novel is reminiscent of Manhattan Beach. The strength and bond of the women in this book is inspiring. Aunt Charlotte might be my favorite character ever! Resilience and courage during wartime was found in many forms. This one was marvelous. One of my favorite books of the year!
