Highly recommend The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. (Don't worry, that's not an affiliate link.) This historical fiction is based on the life of Sarah Grimke, who became one of the first female abolitionists. Ms. Grimke's thinking was so far ahead of her time. At the age of 11, she was given a human gift, a child slave. Ms. Grimke taught "Handful" to read. Although this is based on a true story, some is fact, and some is fiction. There is a fantastic author's note at the end of the book as well, in which Kidd describes her inspiration and research for this book.

It's SUCH a beautiful book. Beautifully written.

You can currently buy "with Notes" versions of books from Oprah's Book Club on Kindle (example here) that have Oprah's highlights and notes in them and it seems to be a popular feature. No reason to think that fans of a particular author would not love this feature as well.

In the event that you have not read The Fault in our Stars by John Green you are missing out. It's truly an amazing book that left me laughing, crying, and feeling the post-book depression. I think it is worth picking up and reading if you haven't, and I promise you won't be disappointed!


Also, there is The invention of Wings and it is truly amazing as well. It is inspired by Sarah Grimke and is a tale of women through struggles of liberation and women's rights. As a woman, it feels incredibly empowering reading it. <3
