This book held all the elements that I consider good writing. Characters, scene, plot were well developed, and the Yellow Wife grabbed my attention from beginning to end. It was a sad story, but well done.
Out of my comfort zone for normal books I read, but I really enjoyed it. I felt like I was in the book.
Our ancestors sacrificed their dignity, family and souls to a country that still chooses to belittle and berate the BIPOC community. To read all of the horrible events that took place within the devils half acre is not only heartbreaking but leaves a sense of powerlessness. This book indeed took m through a mixture of emotions to include mourning, bewilderment and anguish. Pheby witnessed and lived through a great deal of sorrow. She choose to remember all her mom instilled in her in order to safe guard herself, those around her and her children.
