Nov 19 - 25, 2017

The Mapmaker's Children - the fictionalized story of Sarah Brown, daughter of John Brown, and the completely fictional Eden Anderson. Told in alternating chapters of characters and timelines, I found the switching back and forth a little jarring. The story is based on real facts pertaining to the Underground Railroad. The modern story has Eden finding a doll head that leads to a search for the history behind it. I found Eden unlikable at first, her desperation to have a child is ruining all her relationships.

3.5 stars
