Denene Millner's One Blood is a poignant and powerful exploration of motherhood, family secrets, marriage, family and the enduring bonds that connect generations. The book is set in the Great Migration and spans decades of social change.
The story follows the lives of Grace, Lolo and Rae while these three woman deal with issues depriving them of freedom and dignity, while they have to deal with black and white racism. Each woman battles her own struggles with family, motherhood and struggling to find love. It is such a beautifully written story that really draws you in to the past and present of these three women.
I definitely recommend this story to everyone, the setting, characters and storyline kept me hooked and engaged until the very end. I always feel you can learn a lot reading fictional books and this story definitely lives up to that.
