Eleanor by Rachel Wesson is another good 1800 historical fiction story about how the ex-slaves longed to find their family members that they got separated from as slaves. Eleanor is the new school teacher in Clover Springs who came from England. This is a beautiful story of true friendships between blacks and whites as well as how racism still existed after the slaves were freed.

Teaser from Kindle Loc. 207-8: Seems I was an embarrassment to my family. Despite my pale skin, I am the daughter of an ex-slave.
