In the early 1800's, a rich white girl is given her own slave. The rich white girl doesn't want the slave and so the story begins with each chapter being told in turn by either the white girl, Sarah Grimke, or the Slave, Hetty (Handful). This was a book that I couldn't wait to pick up again.

The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
My rating: 4.8

If you enjoyed The Secret Life of Bees or The Help, I think you will enjoy this book. I also think it would make a wonderful book club discussion.
