I Thought My Soul Would Rise and Fly: The Diary of Patsy, a Freed Girl, Mars Bluff, South Carolina, 1865 by Joyce Hansen

4.0

I really enjoyed this, I really wish it was significantly longer. Patsy was a great heroine, clever and likable. Her family was loving and supportive. Characters felt real. The situation they were all navigating was complicated and heartbreaking, but it was well-illustrated and accessible to young readers. I really wish there was meat on this book!

This is probably my favorite book in the series, it was excellent. I recommend to all young readers, and even any-aged readers looking for an entertaining historical fiction read.
