I think the quote says it all. Asides being a subject of racial slurs which is very offensive, we must actually face racism, face segregation, face every difficult situation in order to change them. Else we'll be stuck with them. Kudos to you for an awesome review, very impressive indeed. 8)

This sounds interesting. I may not read it because of the racial slurs.
Thanks for the honest review.

It takes a skilled author to create an historical fiction story that feels so real that the reader is unsure of what is fact and what is fiction. Thanks for the thorough review!
