Historia
Moments after Lisbeth is born, she’s taken from her mother and handed over to an enslaved wet nurse, Mattie, a young mother separated from her own infant son in order to care for her tiny charge. Thus begins an intense relationship that will shape both of their lives for decades to come. Though Lisbeth leads a life of privilege, she finds nothing but loneliness in the company of her overwhelmed mother and her distant, slave-owning father.

To enter the country, she must pretend to be her husband’s first wife - a paper wife. On the perilous voyage, Mei Ling takes an orphan girl named Siew under her wing. Dreams of a better life in America give Mei Ling the strength to endure the treacherous journey and detainment on Angel Island. But when she finally reaches San Francisco, she’s met with a surprise.

When two Union soldiers stumble onto a plantation in northern Georgia on a warm May day in 1864, the last thing they expect is to see the Union flag flying high - or to be greeted by a group of freed slaves and their Jewish mistress. Little do they know that this place has an unusual history. Twelve years prior, Adelaide Mannheim - daughter of Mordecai, the only Jewish planter in the county - was given her own maid, a young slave named Rachel. The two became friends, and soon they discovered a secret.

Resumen del Editor
From the best-selling author of Yellow Crocus and Mustard Seed comes the empowering novel of two generations of American women connected by the past and fighting for a brighter future.
It's 1894. Jordan Wallace and Sadie Wagner appear to have little in common. Jordan, a middle-aged black teacher, lives in segregated Chicago. Two thousand miles away, Sadie, the white wife of an ambitious German businessman, lives in more tolerant Oakland, California. But years ago, their families intertwined on a plantation in Virginia. There, Jordan's and Sadie's mothers developed a bond stronger than blood, despite the fact that one was enslaved and the other was the privileged daughter of the plantation’s owner.
With Jordan's mother on her deathbed, Sadie leaves her disapproving husband to make the arduous train journey with her mother to Chicago. But the reunion between two families is soon fraught with personal and political challenges.
As the harsh realities of racial divides and the injustices of the Gilded Age conspire to hold them back, the women find they need each other more than ever. Their courage, their loyalty, and the ties that bind their families will be tested. Amid the tumult of a quickly changing nation, their destiny depends on what they're willing to risk for liberation.

Historia
When two Union soldiers stumble onto a plantation in northern Georgia on a warm May day in 1864, the last thing they expect is to see the Union flag flying high - or to be greeted by a group of freed slaves and their Jewish mistress. Little do they know that this place has an unusual history. Twelve years prior, Adelaide Mannheim - daughter of Mordecai, the only Jewish planter in the county - was given her own maid, a young slave named Rachel. The two became friends, and soon they discovered a secret.

The year is 2004: Lina Sparrow is an ambitious young lawyer working on a historic class-action lawsuit seeking reparations for the descendants of American slaves. The year is 1852: Josephine is a 17-year-old house slave who tends to the mistress of a Virginia tobacco farm - an aspiring artist named Lu Anne Bell. It is through her father, renowned artist Oscar Sparrow, that Lina discovers a controversy rocking the art world: Art historians now suspect that the revered paintings of Lu Anne Bell, an antebellum artist known for her humanizing portraits of the slaves who worked her Virginia tobacco farm, were actually the work of her house slave, Josephine.

Historia
Penelope Grand has scrapped her failed career as an artist in Pittsburgh and moved back to Brooklyn to keep an eye on her ailing father. She's accepted that her future won't be what she'd dreamed, but now, as gentrification has completely reshaped her old neighborhood, even her past is unrecognizable. Old haunts have been razed, and wealthy white strangers have replaced every familiar face in Bed-Stuy. Even her mother, Mirella, has abandoned the family to reclaim her roots in the Dominican Republic. That took courage. It's also unforgivable.

Excellent!
As a stand alone historical novel or, as a follow-up to The Mustard Seed, Golden Poppies is worthwhile, entertaining and moving.
Bahni Turpin, as always, is a marvelous reader, making this, as with all she does, come alive.
Laila Ibrahim has, once again, carried me into deeper understanding. If not always a comfortable journey, if a good bit shocking, angering and painful, the way is also described with Love, Joy, tenderness and ever-appreciation for Life. That depth of truth is a place I wish to go. Thank you.
I look forward to more from Ms Turpin and Ibrahim.

History, cultures, prejudices, freedom fighters
I grew up in a different time - and in the Deep South. So many of the comments and experiences that emerge and are highlighted in this book ring so very true for someone who grew up in the 50s and 60s. I now live in the vicinity of Oakland, California. It is simultaneously heartening and saddening to be touched by so much of the history that occurred in the course of the lives described in this book. Yes it’s a novel, but so much of it is true if in perspective if not through specific facts. A worthwhile read or listen for anyone who cares about freedom and the ultimate end of racial and gender-based prejudice.

A bit contrived and preachy
I’ve enjoyed other Laila Ibrahim novels, however, to me, this story tried too hard to incorporate events and issues of the time in the storyline. I’m glad I completed the series and was interested to follow the next generation of characters

Golden Poppies
Very good continuation of these beautiful families and their history. I am disappointed though not surprised regarding various parts of this particular book. I also wished Susan B Anthony’s part in this book was not fiction. But no surprise there either.
I will download the last book if this series and hopefully offer a full view of my appreciation for such a large part of history.

Loved It
I have read all 3 of these books and was able to turn off the world for a few hours a day, which is so hard to do most days.
I will be re-reading all three with just as much giggles, tears (happy and sad)
I'm about to turn 57 and still can not wrap my mind around the way people then and now are treated.
No one is totally free until the good Lord above has our bedroom ready and he calls us Home.
