SweetsmokeThe year is 1862, and the Civil War rages through the South. On a Virginia tobacco plantation, another kind of battle soon begins. There, Cassius Howard, a skilled carpenter and slave, risks everything punishment, sale to a cotton plantation, even his life to learn the truth concerning the murder of Emoline, a freed black woman, a woman who secretly taught him to read and once saved his life. It is clear that no one cares about her death in the midst

The year is 1862, and the Civil War rages through the South. On a Virginia tobacco plantation, another kind of battle soon begins. There, Cassius Howard, a skilled carpenter and slave, risks everything -- punishment, sale to a cotton plantation, even his life -- to learn the truth concerning the murder of Emoline, a freed black woman, a woman who secretly taught him to read and once saved his life. It is clear that no one cares about her death in the midst of a brutal and hellish war. No one but Cassius, who braves horrific dangers to escape the plantation and avenge her loss.

As Cassius seeks answers about Emoline's murder, he finds an unexpected friend and ally in Quashee, a new woman brought over from another plantation; and a formidable adversary in Hoke Howard, the master he has always obeyed.

With subtlety and beauty, Sweetsmoke captures the daily indignities and harrowing losses suffered by slaves, the turmoil of a country waging countless wars within its own borders, and the lives of those people fighting for identity, for salvation, and for freedom.

Great gift

I purchased this travel jewelry organizer for my mom for Mother’s Day and she loved it. She’s getting older and it’s hard for her to organize and store her jewelry properly and she misplaced things frequently. This was a perfect solution because it’s like a binder and each page includes small zipper slots for Jewlery. She loved it and also added some of my grandfathers WWII small keepsake items in the pouches as well. I’d especially recommend this for older people who need help keeping track of small items - Jewlery or other items.

I like it! I just packed it up with jewelry so when I travel with it (soon) I will update but my necklaces aren't snagging on each other so hopefully it travels well. It looks as good as it does in the pics and packs like a mini suitcase. It does get bulky, but that's because some of my jewelry is big and bulky so if you have flat jewelry it will lay down. I will have it on top so it doesn't get crushed, and will see if it travels well. It looks good and closes so we will see 🤞🏽!!!
