Book Description:

A novel inspired by numerous historical events, Lisa Windgate demonstrates the two different stories. First, there are three women who are together on a journey of finding their lost family amid the post-Civil War South, and a modern-day teacher who rediscovers their story and its connection to her own students' lives.
Author Wingate brings the true story of "Lost Friends" advertisements which she got from Southern newspapers, as freed slaves hastily looking for their loved ones who had been sold by owners.
