During slavery, Ellen's parents could only marry using the very broom, that was now mounted on their wall. They jumped over it to have a new life together. Ellen always knew that the broom resting above the hearth was special. Ellen doesn't know how special until it's announced that all former slaves living as husband and wife can now legally have their unions recognized. When I picked out the book, I did not realize it would be about the marriage broom. I thought this was a heartwarming story and very thoughtful. It gave me a sense that there were happy times when slavery finally ended and new struggles were about to still happen. Ellen was gracious and kind to all the parts of the story, but especially to the part of upholding a family tradition or heirloom even though times had changed. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Ellen has always known that the broom hanging on her family's cabin wall is a special symbol of her parents' wedding during slave days, so she proudly carries it to the courthouse when the marriage becomes legal. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
