READERS SAY:
What an engrossing, thoroughly captivating book. All of the meticulously researched, well-written stories were fascinating (it is hard to pick a favorite, but mine would be The Buffalo Soldiers Ghosts). I couldn't put it down, and my husband can't wait to keep reading either. Great read, highly recommend. (Reader review)
