The Sassafras Crossing

So, for those of you who have heard me go on ad nauseum about place-based literature, setting as character, place (and the same events) inspiring different stories from different characters' perspectives...this is it! This book is a perfect example of all of this. I also loved how the characters constantly got me to question and challenge my reading (dare I say assumptions?) of who they were as people and what they could contribute to the overall narrative. Basically, you really should read this book!
