Jackie Janet and Lee is the last book I have read by him and adore it. My library as not got the newest book in yet but I will keep checking so I can put a hold on it.

After learning of her disgusting treatment of Ann Lowe, I'm no longer a fan.

@Love to Run I had never heard that story, Wow! I find reading biographys a fun way of learning history. Just because history was not kind, we need to know it and understand it so that we don't repeat it. I may read that book.

@KKWA I absolutey agree. History should be known and told in its fullness no matter how uncomfortable it makes us. Enjoy!

I’m a little confused. The article states that the dressmaker was Ethiopian-American but that her grandmother was an enslaved person?

I just posted in this August's reading thread an historical book I finished about her this morning. It was a wonderful book. Nothing in the book about Ethiopia.

Jackie's mother was a piece of work. Horrible woman

money, money, money and more money . all she cared about.

Shame Jackie just lived to be 64. Stress, is what

contributed to her early death is what I think.

Being too thin and men didn't help either.
