Leaving Gee's Bend
Here’s a story about a little piece of land in Alabama, Gee’s Bend, now called Boykin, Alabama.
It has a slow beginning, but once the main character, Ludelphia Bennett started her journey to Camden in order to save her mama, the pace picked up and story grabbed my interest. At that point I was on the adventure with Lu.
My favorite part is the chapter The Witches of Gee’s Bend.
The ending is worth the slow beginning.

Now I’m wondering what’s next for Irene Latham…another historical? Maybe something contemporary? Whatever she writes next it’s on my reading list.
