Flee North: A Forgotten Hero and the Fight for Freedom in Slavery's BorderlandFlee North: A Forgotten Hero and the Fight for Freedom in Slavery's Borderland by Scott Shane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am embarrassed to say that I had never heard of Thomas Smallwood, a Black man who helped hundreds of enslaved people flee north bu after reading his story in Flee North: A Forgotton Hero and the Fight for Freedom in Slavery's Borderland I will nevr forget his story. This is thought provoking and easily read book.

The Prophets by Robert Jones Jr. My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a deeply moving story of love, power and betrayal set in the deep south pre-civil war. The atrocities of plantation life juxtaposed with the beauty of the love shared by two young enslaved men was stunning. Powerful writing about life in and around a place called Empty.

The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times by Jane Goodall My rating: 5 of 5 stars Based on conversations between Jane Goodall and author/ publisher Douglas Abrams this book gives sage advise on not only what we have done to our planet but also what her four hopes/actions are for the future. Ms. Goodall's hopes for our future as a species are: human intellect, nature's resilience, the power of young people, and "the indomitable human spirit." Such hope from such an important naturalist and environmental activist. View all my reviews
