It's a beautifully written tragedy of what slave women suffered through before, during, and after The Civil War: the loss of a husband, the constant violence (rapes and beatings), the pregnancy terminations (to avoid having children born into slavery), and the loss of children.

This was so interesting as it was written in 2 hour increments by so many authors who wrote in a public setting one after the other. I wanted to write a chapter, too. More of a read for how a book could be a collective writing and for the experience.

So wanted to like this!
