We are all family...

Lisbeth has married and moved away from plantation living much against her birth family’s wishes. She returns with her two children when she hears of her father’s failing health. An eye opener to her children who have been raised to treat all people as equals, they see first hand how wrong slavery is. I enjoyed this read and thank Laila Ibrahim for sharing her talent with us.
