IR VERDICT:
The Reconstruction period and its aftermath in the United States south is as fascinating a time period for human interaction and discovery of resourcefulness as any in U.S history. Set with that backdrop during the late 19th century, this story is both good entertainment and education as we follow Molly as she attempts to steer through the tribulations this uncertain period created. A quick read about community, love, and history, Kay Carroll’s MILCREEK POND not only asks the right questions, it provides does so with conviction.
