Emily of the Wild Rose Inn
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I thought this was an excellent book. Emily has growing feelings for the son of a slave owner called Blount, but her adopted sister, Lucy, falls in love with Moses, Blount's family slave. Emily must decide whether to help Lucy or betray her. I thought it was an incredibly moving book and Blount seemed so caring and good-looking that it was almost not real. But the author managed to make Blount real, along with the rest of the characters.
Great story

This book was great. It was interesting to read and showed you what it was really like where Emily lived. This goes back to 1858 near the time when slavery was common in the United States. A rich family from Virgina stay at the Wild Rose Inn with their slave, Moses. Emily knows slavery is wrong and wants to help Moses; but her growing feelings for their son, Blount, hold her back. I definetly recomend this book.
