Summer Reading Essential (Audible)

You MUST listen to this book on Audible. Please, I beg you.

For my readers, before the summer ends, use that 1 audible credit to listen (or read) this empowering tale of the life of Phoebe, an enslaved mulatto teenager who is the daughter of her slave owner in Virginia. Her gripping story, based on a real one, showcases the devastating reality of life back in 1850 in the plantation-era of the South. A must-read for any literary, and a captivating one, at that, you will get a chance to cry, mourn, fear, and endure with Phoebe (or truly known as Mary Lumpkin) as she learns how to survive in a world that only sees her as a slave.

⭐️Overall rating: 5/5:

If you are a fan of historical fiction, then this is a no-brained. You have a duty to yourself to entertain this read. Based on the life of Mary Lumpkin, this story is not easy to digest at times due to the intensity of the circumstances, but is necessary for the individuals who seeks to understand a perspective of the truth. You will surely have engaging and moving conversations and discussion in a book club, as this novel offers many reflective moments.

I am a woman, and a mother. This book will bring you to your knees.

You must read this book.
