Book Review: The Invention of Wings

I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Hetty Grimke, named "Handful" by her mother was a slave in Charleston. Hetty dreams to be away from this world.Then there is the Grimke's daughter, Sarah. Sarah knows that ther is something big in the world that is meant just for her, however, the world as she knows it limits what she is able to do.
Sarah is given Hetty for her 11th birthday. For the next decades the reader follows both of these girls as their relation changes and introduces new feeling to each of them. Hetty discovers loss, courage and self-worth through her journey. Sarah finds betrayal, crushed hopes andmore as she and her sister become abolitionists.
This is a fascinating story and Sue Monk Kidd creates such rich characters that I wanted to continue reading each day and not put it down. She used information that she found on Sarah Grinke and was able build her into well rounded person.
Fantastic book.
