This narrator just fits with this author work perfectly that you just can’t help but to be sucked in from beginning to end.

The history and characters, real or fictional; were described so well I felt I was there. I learned another part of history that was never taught to me. The author wrote fabulous novel about this historic vent.

After recently finishing Miller's The American Queen, I was eager to get my hands on her latest historical fiction book based on real events. This time the story features two sisters living in the African American town of "Dreamland" in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Set in the aftermath of the 1921 Tulsa race riots, this is a moving look at the resilience of a community of African Americans determined to rebuild despite great obstacles. There's some romance, lots of loss and grief and at its core this is a hopeful, education read that was great on audio read by Angela Pean. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review. It was a great book to read during Black History Month.

Thank you for allowing me to listen to this beautifully written story. The audio narration definitely brought this story to life.
I truly enjoyed this and learning additional facts that I did not know. The authors note in the beginning captured my attention and it was an emotional ride from there.

This story was well written. This story is definitely one that I will have my toddler to read as part of her learning about her history as she grows. This story should be a recommend story of literature.

I will complete a more thorough review once I am able to have the physical copy in my hands. I need to annotate and read again.
