FORTITUDE by Carrie Dalby

Five Stars

It’s hard for me sometimes to read about the past. The pain and suffering people experienced because of the color of their skin. Claire is very unique in her time. She doesn’t see the issue so she loves and gives from her heart. She stepped up to help when none else would. She didn’t really think of the consequences but that made it more genuine. Her need to help others outweighed her reputation. The author painted us a story that could be true. The life people lived in these times were scary. I really liked Joe as well he grew up in their time apart and I think it’s because he sees more from Claire’s POV. The story made me sad but also happy. Because I look at the world now and know that it isn’t like this much anymore. We share our schools and cultures. We mix our races. We love just because we can. We date whoever we want and live to see another day without fear of that choice. It’s a beautiful thing and the author gave that to Claire. Hope that one day everyone will see life through her eyes.
