The Mighty Queens of Freeville

I was recently approached by Hyperion Books to review the new book The Mighty Queens of Freeville: A Mother, A Daughter, and The Town that Raised Them. In a twist of irony for a book about mothers and daughters, when I wasn’t able to find the time to read the book, I knew which of [...]
