Thinking about the title of this novel, my mind only wanders back to Landry. Though, I feel as if the entire message of this book, at least for me, was about grace and the importance of lending a helping hand. Though, sometimes love or what we perceive to be love clouds judgement - this we see in multiple forms within the novel. 

Though the brothers needed the Walkers, I feel that the Walkers needed the brothers more. This story shares many moments of them coming together and learning from one another. Though,  the dangers of the town that still didn’t respect freed slaves as free citizens, still tried to find a way to break up these healthy connections. And the saddest moments in the story still pushed the story to a new depth. Allowing the reader to see that through it all, genuine love will ensure that your dreams come true.
