Ebook About Sixteen-year-old Lorena Leland’s dreams of a rich and fulfilling life as a writer are dashed when the stock market crashes in 1929. Seven years into the Great Depression, Rena’s banker father has retreated into the bottle, her sister is married to a lazy charlatan and gambler, and Rena is an unemployed newspaper reporter. Eager for any writing job, Rena accepts a position interviewing former slaves for the Federal Writers’ Project. There, she meets Frankie Washington, a 101-year-old woman whose honest yet tragic past captivates Rena.As Frankie recounts her life as a slave, Rena is horrified to learn of all the older woman has endured—especially because Rena’s ancestors owned slaves. While Frankie’s story challenges Rena’s preconceptions about slavery, it also connects the two women whose lives are otherwise separated by age, race, and circumstances. But will this bond of respect, admiration, and friendship be broken by a revelation neither woman sees coming?Book Under the Tulip Tree Review :
272 The year 2020 has been extremely rough, with a pandemic, protests and riots, a contentious election on the horizon, and more. But I must say, September 2020 in particular has spoiled me with five-star novels. Michelle Shocklee's latest is one of them. I wasn't familiar with her work and didn't know what to expect, but I am so glad I found Under the Tulip Tree.Rena and especially Frankie stick in your mind long after you close the book. Michelle pulled off something great with them, in that both women got plenty of development and time for organic, realistic growth. Frankie and Rena are beautifully nuanced; they're not just the former slave and the writer sent to interview said slave in order to prevent such atrocities from happening again. Instead, Frankie is a strong woman who grew into her strength. You root for her even in her bitterness and hate, not only because you know her trauma, but because you know she has the determination to make something worthwhile of her life. My heart broke for her plenty of times, especially as she rejected God (although, what else would any of us do in her circumstances)? But the heartbreak made her triumphant moments all the sweeter. A particular plot twist involving a Confederate soldier was my absolute favorite.As for Rena, she's privileged and a little spoiled. You see and cringe at her naivete, but you recognize she's intelligent, forward-thinking, and compassionate enough to grow past those tendencies. I actually found myself sympathizing with her desire to escape at times, selfish as that could be. And one of my favorite parts of the book came when she confronted the realities of slavery and its fallout, as well as what she was going to do about it, even though everyone around her said slavery was in the past and not worth losing social standing over.Speaking of confronting realities, one of the reasons I loved Tulip Tree was because it's "evergreen." As in, the novel might be set in the Depression and partially in the Civil War years/aftermath. But the issues tackled therein are still incredibly relevant for today. I couldn't read Rena's arc in particular without thinking of systemic racism and the ways, right or wrong, that this generation is trying to deal with it. I don't have the experience Rena does, and as far as I know, I don't have any slave-holding ancestors. But I found myself setting my Kindle aside to pray for forgiveness and understanding anyway. I found myself recalling subtle examples of casual racism I've seen in the 2010s and 2020, and cringing. Yet, none of this was preachy or in my face. It worked because Michelle let me see the evergreen plot points through human stories and fictional, yet real, human hearts.Frankie and Rena's stories play off each other expertly and work great together, as Frankie learns how her story can impact others and give her final freedom, and Rena learns to break away from what "enslaves" her. There were a couple of places where I wondered if the novel leaned a little heavily on coincidence or the easy answer, but taken with the whole story, these things didn't bother me much at all. My final verdict is not only that you should read and enjoy it. I think you need to read this, especially now. We all do.
