A Hope Divided

 Fiction by Alyssa Cole. 


Marlie is the daughter of a freed slave, born in the Deep South before the civil war. She stays with her mother and learns the art of medicinal herbs until she is suddenly sent to live at the home of her real father, who was her mother’s former owner. 

This story is about how Marlie tries to become her own person (and find love!) as mixed-race woman in this strange environment. It was a decent romance story but not great.
