I was conflicted about this one until I got to your recommendation. Many historical and political books are written, but it is rare that these elements are successfully fused with character development and a solid plot in the way you describe.

In the historical novel The Truth Together, the 20th-century racial segregationist laws of America are examined. It examines the lives of numerous personalities and how they handled discrimination by showing courage, bravery, and tenacity. Thanks for your review.

'The Truth Together' by Kelly Rodgers sounds fascinating. Women like Effie who pursue their dreams regardless of hindrances are the real deal. Fern had it rough. I hope the two women could eventually uncover the truth they seek to uncover together.

This seems like a great historical novel. It appears to be quite sad but it also has themes of resilience and determination. I wonder what secrets the main characters will encounter. Thanks for a wonderful review, and congrats to the author on BOTD! 🙂

Alonzo Herndon and her daughter it sounds like they have gone through a hard time, but I don't like slavery books thank you.

This was an emotional read for me. Fighting for recognition in a land where people were judged by their skin color. I'm glad the story became inspiring in the end. Congrats on BOTD.

It does sound like a compelling read with loads of mystery and suspense. I'd like to know what the two women find out about the facility and how it affects them. Thanks for the tantalizing review.

Effie's character seems courageous enough to give hope to people like her, especially women. On the other hand, Fern's character, in a way, complements Effie's personality. I would like to explore more about the two unusual characters.

I am fascinated by how being biracial during the early 1900s in America caused Alonzo Herndon's life to be much more difficult.
Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

The storyline is an interesting blend of racial tension, injustice, and human cruelty. I like that we have two strong female leads and a convergence of multiple themes, making the book even more multi-dimensional. Thank you for the analysis.

Alonzo and Effie really fought for recognition. It must have been hard on them. I love the fact that they ended up inspiring the reader in the end. Congratulations on BOTD.
