“When we are happy to turn from evil because it is ugly, and it causes us distress, then we condone it and become party to its continuance. Little by little, we become as guilty of it as those who commit the act-because we told them by our silence that it is acceptable.” Hester Latterly, Defend and Betray by Anne Perry

This book incorporates women history and the beginnings of the sexual revolution. We get Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton's perspective as well as Victoria Woodhull's first woman to run for president and Anthony Comstock, who helped develop a lot of our censorship laws. Freydeh, is the fictional character whose story is intertwined with theirs. A great read about women overcoming suppression and the man who tried to stop their ideas.

It was ok. Wish there was more Zombie fighting. I felt at times the flow was off and the characters were not true to themselves. If looking for a better book by Seth Graham-Smith read Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

Hope is never false.

Reading about General Grant's passing and I lost it reading this passage. 😭 #uglycry

Guess who is in a #historicalromance mood?

This the story of Elizabeth Keekley and her friendship with Mary Todd Lincoln. It read more like a #biography than #historicalfiction. The book is based on the Elizabeth Keekley #autobiography Behind the Scenes: Or, Thirty Years a Slave, and Four Years in the White House. It gave a different insight into the Lincoln White House. I loved seeing that time through the eyes of Mrs. Keekley. Overall a good read. Loved it.
