Reviews

""An absorbing portrait of young adults trying to do good in a divided nation.""—Publishers Weekly ""Impeccable research and incredible details bring the stories of these four young people (two white and two Black) to life as they come of age in the years leading up to and during the Civil War. The inclusion of surprisingly relevant primary source materials will draw readers in, allowing them to connect the dots from this nation's dark past to today and furthermore to arm themselves with information to work toward a brighter future."" —Kip Wilson, award-winning author of White Rose
