Jubilee tells the true story of Vyry, the child of a white plantation owner and his black mistress.

Story
The Stantons and the Nortons were families in the truest, oldest sense: extended networks of kin stretching across the mountains, everyone within hiking distance. They’d come from the British Isles and settled in the Appalachians of North Carolina during the 1700s, bringing with them their dearly loved songs and their clannish ways, their ties to the land ultimately becoming as strong as their ties to one another.

Story
Set in the 19th century, Isabel Miller's classic lesbian novel traces the relationship between Patience White and Sarah Dowling, whose romantic bond does not sit well with their puritanical New England community. In addition to being an inspiring love story, the audiobook for Patience and Sarah is an ideal listen for young-adult audiences. It is a story that shows how irrelevant race, religion, and gender are to love and that loving and being loved are what keep us human and sane.

Fast’s fictional account of the post Civil War era takes us into the life of Gideon Jackson, a black man, newly freed, and determined to make a difference.

Story
Leading a small army of slaves, Nat Turner was a man born with a mission: to set the captives free. When words failed, he ignited an uprising that left over 50 whites dead. In the predawn hours of August 22, 1831, Nat Turner stormed into history with a Bible in one hand, brandishing a sword in the other. His rebellion shined a spotlight on slavery and the state of Virginia and divided a nation's trust. Turner himself became a lightning rod for abolitionists like Harriet Beecher Stowe and a terror and secret shame for slave owners.

One of my favorite books - ever!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes - I have highly recommended this to everyone. I hope there is a sequel and a movie. I have heard it could become a play.
What did you like best about this story?
The author read the book and did an excellent job. Well written. Believable and kept me wanting to hear more. Just a great book. Makes you realize how hard the Civil War was on both the North and the South. The majority of the people did not even have slaves and would never had been able to afford slaves. A harsh senseless devastating war as told through the eyes of a 6 year old.
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene was probably how they would hide the animals when the armies came through. How she had to learn to lie when asked about where things were hidden.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It drew me into the era through a child's eye - made me more aware just how sad this war was and the real people who lived and died in it. (Fighting or not.) The bad and crazy things desperate people do to survive.
Any additional comments?
I hope this becomes a best seller in print and on Audible.
