Book Review: "Golden Poppies" By Laila Ibrahim

"Golden Poppies returns to the Freedman and Johnson families. It was fascinating to bring them to California, to look at the suffrage movement, and to see how they could keep their connection strong in spite of the very different social worlds they occupied."

This was such a magnificent piece of writing that I couldn't stop reading it.

It will take you to a deeper train of thought, a time of great suffrage, a movement that is greater than itself.

The characters are so vivid, multi-dimensional, courageous, diverse, and tenacious with numerous injustices that conspire to hold them back in the Gilded Age testing the family bind.
Lake Union authors have always been a pleasure to read and a huge reason why I fell in love with reading in the first place.

Thank you for bringing such a unique and interesting perspective to the table for discussion.
