If Cotton Could Talk: A Historical Fictional Novel beginning the journey from slave to freedom told from the African American perspective (The whileBlack Chronicles') Paperback – Large Print, August 2, 2021

Awesome book! Love the way Mr. Hayes capture the attention of his audience. I felt like I was a part of the story. The characters became friends as I read about each one of their stories. This book was easy to read and follow.

I loved this book,the reason for 4stars is the story was much too short,didn't have character development. One chapter was pre civil war,the next was post civil war. What happened in between? It was like reading cliff notes..

Graphic story toldFrom the slaves experiences and deep emotions. Whites and Blacks have made some progress since this time but not nearly enough.

This book was obviously self-published. There are many spelling errors, grammatical errors, and punctuation errors. Those aside, this book was written from the heart and is worthwhile.

While the book was quite enjoyable, the lack of punctuation, misspelling and incorrect use of words took away from the essence of the book. Many likeable characters. I realize the story used "period language", but there were just too many errors for the book to flow. For example: the word "salve" instead of "slave"; not knowing when to use "too" instead of "to". In the future please invest in a proofreader and/or editor.

I have read quite a few books on the Civil War but none that told the daily life & appalling conditions that slaves had to endure.I see this is the first book in a series & I cannot wait to get the next book.Well done, Mr. Hayes!

Interesting story about a terrible time in our history. I recommend everyone rad this book. People should know about this historical time in our country.

Well written, hope more people will read this book. Wish these stories were available to students in elementary or Jr high schools.
