Beanie, sharing a man she despises with his two other wives, seemingly sold into the miserable marriage at only fifteen, desperately reaches out to a long lost friend and finds…Liddie, the almost-wife of the almost-president of the United States — Joe Kennedy. Liddie, with deep secrets that threaten her lily-white life.At the End of the Line takes you deep inside the era of the Civil Rights movement, the push for change, and the push back against it, and how it touched the lives of ordinary people.My favorite quote from this book: "The world only saw him as a Negro. But she saw him as an intelligent, kind, caring man who played a mean sax and would one day become a great doctor."Everybody has a dream, and all through this intricately woven tale, you will have many dreams for Beanie, who came from a wrong to fight for a right.And oh what a BRILLIANT ending! I never saw that one coming!— Sharon Delarose

23 of 23 people found the following review helpful. very crisp read - highly enjoyable! By Avid Reader Pleasantly surprised would be an understatement for my take on this book and the experience reading it. It's an engaging story with extremely well thought our main characters. I wasn't sure it would be the kind of book I could sink myself into, but it only took about 20 minutes and I knew I had something very compelling in my hands. It was very well researched and the effort to create realism based upon the time and setting was very impressive. It would have been easy to wash details and/or historical aspects into the pages, yet the time was taken to bring such fantastic realism out. Beatrice and Adeline's dialogue and developed friendship is done in such a way that the reader truly feels a part of their world. This book is highly recommended.

27 of 28 people found the following review helpful. A Unique, Heartwarming Story By F. Flores This was a great book. It falls under Women's Fiction/Historical Fiction genre and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The book follows a 15 year friendship between two women who couldn't be more different. Beatrice "Beanie" is a 15 year old child bride of an abusive husband. Attempting to escape her situation, she desperately tries to decipher the phone number of the only person she thinks could help her, but her husband tore up the paper. Beanie makes the call anyway, but the woman at the end of the line isn't the one she was hoping to contact.Adeline Garrison's life is already a success, but she is living a lie within a loveless marriage. When Beanie dials her number by accident, a 15 year friendship is begun. This story occurs amid the civil rights movement, when color determines friendship, success, and love.This book was a wonderful, sometimes heartbreaking story to read. The Freedom Riders come alive and you experience their struggles and successes firsthand. I highly recommend this book.
