I enjoy historical fiction and was looking forward to this book. I was disappointed to find that the title and novel description are misleading. Only a small part at the beginning of the book are about the relationship between Mrs. Grant and her slave, Jule. Jule's separate life is sprinkled into the book here and there, but she never has contact with Mrs. Grant again throughout their lives. The majority of the book is about Julia Dent Grant and her love, support, and sacrifice for her husband, General Ulysses Grant. Although I learned much about President and Mrs. Grant, I found it to be a slow read.
