Ch 5 & 6

Aside from the surprise of finding out about Orpah and her pirate costume wearing father, I was so surprised with the end of chapter 5. I knew that obviously the Quigley family was confused with their family heritage because Ruth and Obed's stories did not come close to matching up, but I did not expect their oldest ancestor to be a slave owner or seller, let alone stealer. I was not surprised to learn the town of Kilvert was originally and for the most part still an all black town because the other towns did not want anyone of color in their town, however it did make it more surprising to find out Niall Quigley was so involved with slaves. I enjoy the chapters that focus on the slavery stories much more, so I really enjoyed chapter 6.
