This nonfiction book reads like a historical novel as the author follows the lives of three African Americans who sought a better life in the North in the early 1900s. Through these people we learn not only of the hardships of life in a segregated South, but how they faced new and similar challenges in the North. Much has been written before about the Great Migration, but here we are presented with the complete extent of the movement and its after effects.
