“On the Wings of Freedom” by Malanna Carey Henderson is not a good read, it is a great read and a must read! I read this intriguing, can’t-put-down historical novel before the COVID pandemic and social justice pandemic hit. The well-written, well-researched historical novel brings alive the horrid conditions of slavery and the heroic acts by fictional people and real people (eg Harriett Tubman) to save people and to seek justice. These actions relate today to the Black Lives Matter and Justice now movements. Only by understanding the past, can one see the great needs still unanswered today. Ms Henderson’s heroine, Carrie Bennett, captured my admiration, interest and fondness. I cared what happened to her and would love to see a sequel to this novel. Again, please read this remarkable, intriguing book! You will be enlightened, entertained, humbled. – Jane Hunsucker, Aug 6, 2020

It was very well crafted -you advanced the story in such a seamless and engaging way. WHAT an accomplishment! It left such an impression on me for several weeks. I think it would be great literature for young adults as well! It inspired me to pick up a book I’ve meant to read for years-Toni Morrison’s Beloved. – Jonna Catron
