I was touched when Brandy's mother sacrificed herself for the safety of her daughter. I was also touched by the death of Eric's wife. furthermore, how Brandy was pushed out was heartbreaking, and the sudden change in Brandy's life after the death of her mother.

It is heart breaking for me to put myself in Brandy's position. Seeing ones mother die without being able to save her is a terrible experience. The way Brandy's mother sacrificed her life is a noble thing. It really luminates how great a mother's love it's

Having to watch your own mother die right in front of you could be the most emotional thing to experience. I can't imagine myself experiencing that. That was the most emotional moment for me.

(spoiler) There were a few really touching events that made the story whole, with the most heart touching I believe was when Brandy found out who her real father was. Throughout the book she had trouble with loving Eric or speaking kind words about him, so I believe her heart was filled when she found out her true father was who she looked up to and took care of her through all the years.

The most heart-touching event in the book for me was the death of Brandy's mother, when she gave up on her own life by hanging herself, instead of outing her dear daughter. The mother was a strong character throughout the book and that's why her death shook me. Moreover, her daughter Brandy witnessed her death, which makes it even sadder.

I was really sad when Eric's wife died. Also, the scene where Brandy's mother died was heartbreaking.

I find it very emotional how Brandy had to witness the hanging of the mother and this was after the killing of Eric. The loss was too hard for her to bear for the parent-to-child bond is very strong to be severed especially with a brutal murder of the parent.

I tried holding my tears when Brandy's mum sacrificed herself for Brandy's safety. Nothing hurts than seeing your loved ones die in your presence and you couldn't do anything about it.

I'm not sure if a death scene is considered "touching", but the Scarlett Mistress' death was immediately appalling and emotional to me even though we were not given much depth to her character since she appears in the introduction of the book. The loyalty she had built for those in her crew is evident to bear, so just imagine the internal suffering they endured when they had to watch their co-captain hanged in front of them with nothing they could do about it.

My mother, like many others, is my biggest love in this world. I was most moved by the fact that she had to see her mother's murder with her own eyes. I could feel her anguish. No one should have to see such a heinous event.

The most heart touching moment for me is the scene where Brandy loses both parents, and is forced to pretend to be a slave. I really felt for her.

I felt worried when Davonte was kidnapped right after they knew she was Captain Joshua's daughter. It broke my heart to think that he might never get to meet his long-lost daughter. Other instances affected me, but this one was worth mentioning.
