If you are a follower of Library Love Fest, you know I am a fan of a book entitled, Wench, by Dolen Perkins-Valdez. Wench is the story of three female slave mistresses and the friendship they built despite living in a period of oppression. If you missed my article, read it right here.

If you haven't read Wench yet, please add this to your reading list. You will NOT be disappointed!
Enjoy!
