When looking at history, it is saddening to recall how, in the past, one's position might be determined just by the color of their skin and the household they were born into, regardless of their abilities or talents. However, such a period can serve as the beginning of a cautionary tale that teaches readers the importance of eradicating discrimination from their daily lives and being appreciative for the moment they presently live in.

Bringing readers back to a time of racial discrimination and social prejudice the book “Betsy and Catherine: An Uncommon Friendship” features the story of two unlikely acquaintances as they strive to keep one another in their lives, despite the hardships and fear that they were exposed to, all this with the fear of death looming over them as they were exiled to a faraway land with no idea what was awaiting them once they arrive at shore.

The book was acclaimed for its superb storyline, which illustrated the evolution of the characters' friendship despite their social and socioeconomic differences, especially as the book was jam-packed with a mix of drama and adventure so engaging that it leaves readers wanting more.
