Song Yet Sung


This lovely story Song Yet Sung by James McBride was a good read. Set in 1850s America when slavery is still a harsh reality, a young slave girl, Liz, escapes and is harbored by other slaves. She has a gift of "dreaming the future" when there will be a better time for America's blacks. There are some intriguing characters - Patty the tough slave-stealer, the slaves, owners, slave catchers. An interesting time as there is hope for the future. 4/5
