What a gem and what a team. Thanks to Benedict and Murray a strong woman from history has been brought to light.

As someone who doesn’t read as much but still loves a good book, this one right here melts your hearts and invokes so many emotions it remains in your memories.

I have discovered Africa during the last few years of my life and am so pleased to be there with people who are not victims of racist thoughts and actions. As such, I think I can really appreciate the book. My maternal grandparents were staunch Quakers as their ancestors were for generations. I know they would understand my admiration for this wonderful book!

A whirlwind of historical prowess.

How much has been white washed in history? I enjoyed the discovery of yet another woman of color, so intelligent, elegant and unique.

This was such an interesting book. Very well written that I thoroughly enjoyed. I look forward to add a tour of this library to my bucket list.

Like nothing I’ve ever read. So dynamic & interesting!

A beautiful story, it just drug on a bit toward the end.

well written, great level of detail, fascinating perspective into life of a successful black woman in the early part of 20th century

Loved learning about a true story and the intricacies of racial prejudice while passing for white to keep a job with the most powerful man in America-JP Morgan.
