An absorbing story of two determined young women. Hannie is a former slave who is caught up on a journey to Texas to find her former master and - perhaps - her long lost family. Benny is a high school teacher struggling to engage her disruptive class and she stumbles upon the stories of the slaves and slave owners whose families are still in the town in the present day. Will she bring the community together or inflame old divisions? The stories are told very well, each section ending on a cliffhanger so the pages keep turning. Each section is also prefaced with a newspaper article from former slaves seeking their family, the "Lost Friends" of the title.
