Libertie by Kaitlyn Greenidge [Book]

view/request

I just finished Libertie by Kaitlyn Greenidge and loved it! It is historical fiction at its best — bringing the past to life through characters that are complex and relatable. The story begins in post-Civil War Brooklyn and is a coming of age story of a free black girl, Libertie, whose mother is a doctor. We follow Libertie through college and into her young married life which brings her to Haiti.
