Show Notes
"Freeman" by Leonard Pitts, Jr. follows three main characters at the end of the Civil War. Tilda, a former slave woman freed by the end of the war. Her estranged husband, Sam Freeman, who had been a slave but managed to escape to the North. And Prudence Kent, a White woman from Boston whose father was wealthy. Through these three characters, we get very different perspectives on the time.
I enjoyed "Freeman". It was an emotional roller coaster that had me in my feelings at quite a few points. The book was a quick read and I was able to finish it in about a week or two.
