Chronicles' Review: I have read quite a few books on the Civil War but none that told the daily life & appalling conditions that slaves had to endure. I see this is the first book in a series & I cannot wait to get the next book. Well done, Mr. Hayes!

 What’s interesting to me about this review is that he/she claims to have read “quite a few books on the Civil War” and never read that slaves had it bad. How is that possible?? Think about that for a moment.

 

 “If Cotton Could Talk” is not about slavery but a story about relationships created by strangers who meet on a Mississippi plantation with one goal in mind, freedom. I certainly don’t consider it to be a Civil War book!

 

On the other hand, it’s still a great review!

 

Your Thoughts?

well, I don't think it is impossible, simply because, the USA is the kind of genre literature. All literature genres in the usa, rightly or wrongly, have many subgenres that cater to vaious communities. I Can see it.
