Book #3

This book was more intriguing than I first expected. It read fast and I was knee-deep after skimming a chapter.

It's a book about slavery set in the middle of the Revolutionary War. It is heart wrenching. A good storyline, great characters, and makes you want to always keep your integrity.

People always regret when they fail to act on an impression. Matt has always told me, "you can't do wrong doing what is right." This book reminds me of that.

Many people, like Jefferson were repulsed by slavery but did nothing to stop it. It was a "necessary evil" as quoted by Jefferson to John Adams.

That notion makes me sick. But it also helps me realize how important it is to be true to my beliefs, even if it makes my life harder.

Live a life that you will be proud of because most likely it will help others more than you could understand.
