It's kinda sorta still #podcastsunday The Courtship of Mona Mae is a new podcast from @fableandfollypodcasts with only 2 episode so far, and I'm hooked! It's the 1870s and Mona Mae Christophe and her husband, having been released from slavery, are pioneer settlers. When a lawyer comes to tell her her mother, who she was sold away from long ago, is looking for her, and a dispute with a racist neighbor lands Mona with a burned out home and a husband presumed dead, Mona must leave town, and begins a journey to find the truth. Voice acting is well done, and the story is wonderful so far. If you enjoy strong female characters, western romance type stories, historical fiction, and black representation, than this is for you. Honestly, I feel like there are so many stories and perspectives we haven't heard yet from the US post- civil war period, so I love this black, female pioneer. Breaking horses, shooting, and knowing her own mind. Keep going! I can't wait to hear what comes next.
