Who Is Carrie?

This final book in the Arabus Family saga continues the authors' close attention to historical accuracy while telling an engrossing adventure story. Carrie, a slave in Sam Fraunce's tavern, has a front-row seat to the birth of a new idea of freedom and to the inauguration of George Washington. Lisa Marie Pitts gives a believable voice to this feisty young lady who is bound and determined to uncover the secrets of her past and take her place as a free citizen of this new country. Pitts's dialogue sounds realistic as she deliver the kind of unorthodox grammar used by the unschooled. She fills the dialogue with emotion, letting the listener hear Carrie's frustrations, hopes, and dreams in every line. N.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
