This was excellent.
Trying to type out my thoughts about this book is not going to be easy. I already have a huge heart for abolition and for fighting racism and about standing up for God's kingdom over fighting for the world's opinion of freedom through wars and such, and this book captured all of that so well, that my emotions were overwhelmed with pride in Christ in reading this.

Caroline begins to write down about her life. We sense there is something she did that could get her in trouble. She begins to reflect on her life and how she lived around slavery in her home of Richmond, VA. The accounts of slavery and the emotions of both the North and the South including the ignorance of both are so thought provoking. Caroline hates slavery with a passion even though her own parents own slaves. The slaves she lives around are more like family to her than her own parents, though she longs to be loved by them too and she loves them as well, it is just not as easy for her to open up to them as it is the slaves.

We get to grow up with Caroline while reading of her adventures. Eventually we learn about her love for obeying God over doing what her side of the country tells her is right. Will she risk everything for them as Jesus risked His life for her? This book goes through how she lives during the Civil War as well. It had so much history, details, and emotion on every page.

Definitely a series to read! I look forward to reading the other two books now! Wow!
