Very well written, intense story about slavery. One of the best books I've ever read and everyone should read. Based off The Federal Writer's Project, a volunteer interviews a former slave to learn about her past and experience.
Under the Tulip Tree
This story deals with miscarriage, adoption, and redemption in a very beautiful way. The ending was very moving.
The Edge of Belonging
Charles Martin's books are very well-written and intense.
