Book Review: Little Sacrifices by Jamie Scott

I received a copy of Little Sacrifices by Jaime Scott in exchange for an honest review.

Summary:

How much would you risk to stand up for your beliefs?

When the Powell family moves to Savannah Georgia in 1947, they hope against hope that they’ll be welcomed. But they’re Northerners and worse, they’re white civil rights advocates almost a decade too early. The American South is deeply segregated.

At first May can pretend they’re the same as everyone else. It means keeping quiet when she knows she should speak up, but it’s worth the sacrifice to win friends. Unfortunately her parents are soon putting their beliefs into action. And when they wake to find that they’re the only family on the block with a Ku Klux Klan cross blazing on their front lawn, the time comes for them to finally decide between what’s easy and what’s right.

Review:

I’ve been a fan of this author for quite some time and was so excited when I found out that she would be writing a different style of book under a pen name. Although the material is different than I am used to from this author, she hands it wonderfully. I absolutely adored the historical aspect and I loved the rich details that are provided to accompany the story. Overall, the writing is smooth, the characters are fantastic and the story is truly one-of-a-kind. Little Sacrifices really is spectacular and is a must read.
Rating: 5/5 stars
