An Incredible Journey

This was my first experience with Karen E Osborne's work, and it was very emotional. The story was about Grace Herbert, an immigrant, mixed-raced woman who was fighting to survive and to keep her family together in the year 1924. Grace was an amazing character who faced many obstacles in achieving her dreams. The tale was thought provoking, and it engendered many emotions as the story unfolded. Debi Tinsley's narration was fine, and her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

The story of Grace was amazing!!!

I fell in love with Grace Herbert.
From the opening quote in chapter one, "The first time my husband died,.... The second time he died.." grabbed my attention.

I loved the story flow and imagery the words Karen E. Osborne conveyed in the story. I often felt like I was right in the room or on the very street in Harlem as she told the tale.

So glad Grace had an incredible network and community of people around her, providing her grace along her journey.
