Not long ago, I read The Kitchen House. It was a well-written book but a story without hope. You could feel the suffocating sadness from the beginning. The Invention of Wings is similar but with more hope. Sue Monk Kidd tells the story of a young white girl named Sarah and Handful, the slave she is gifted…

I had looked forward to reading this book for so long. The synopsis seemed like a great story. Little did I know how much this would affect me. The Light Between Oceans tells the tale of a war hero and a headmaster’s daughter who fall in love and move to an island so he can…
