Historical fiction fans will enjoy this book for older teens and adults. It follows a young black slave and an Irish indentured servant from young teens to maturity and paints a detailed portrait of their life. It is easy to feel like your living their lives and feeling the pain that many girl with few choices would face. Since no effort is made to white wash to many horrible things these girls were forced to face during their lifetime it is not appropriate for younger teens. The book felt complete but I missed both women when I finished the book. This book is would be close to the top of the list of my favorite historical fiction novels.
