Reviews
"A gripping novel about standing up to impossible odds." --People "Draped in the history of Philadelphia's thriving abolition movement, this superb novel shares edge-of-your-seat suspense." --The Washington Post "A page-turning story . . . [For] readers who are tired of being spoonfed narratives that paint Black people as illiterate victims without agency." --Philadelphia Inquirer "[A] richly layered debut . . . Lattimore is a writer to watch." -- Publishers Weekly "A thoroughly researched gem with a strong sense of place anchored around the construction of Pennsylvania hall." -- Booklist, starred review "A must-read!" --Essence "This rich historical novel widens the scope on the variety of Black American experiences." --Kirkus Review "A lovingly told story about compelling characters, with powerful stakes that still remains grounded in tone . . . A masterpiece." --San Francisco Book Review "Exudes originality . . . [an] altogether absorbing, thought-proving story." --Historical Novel Society "A beguiling story of friendship, deception, and women crossing boundaries in the name of freedom." --Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost Friends "A compelling tale of three Black women caught between the promises and threats of a supposedly free, pre-Civil War Philadelphia." --Charmaine Wilkerson, author of Black Cake "Masterfully brings the era to life and kept me turning pages. A triumphant debut!" --Martha Hall Kelly, author of Lilac Girls "As beautifully written as it is historically sound, and ripe with the overwhelming struggle to right America's greatest wrong: slavery." --Sadeqa Johnson, author of The House of Eve "A stunning debut . . . This riveting story will enthrall you with its promises kept and broken, love lost and found, and paths carved forward with despair and hope." --Adriana Trigiani, author of The Good Left Undone "With insight and empathy, this absorbing novel transports us to the turbulent streets of 1830s Philadelphia." --Catherine Kerrison, author of Jefferson's Daughters "Well-researched and beautifully rendered, Ashton Lattimore's debut delves deep into a pre-Civil War Philadelphia at the crossroads of slavery and independence, an urgent history that builds on every compelling page." --Afia Atakora, author of Conjure Women "I highly recommend this important, beautiful book. It has everything I value most in historical fiction: compelling characters, a suspenseful plot, and vivid details, which here bring to life a part of America's past that continues to resonate painfully today." --Tara Conklin, author of The House Girl "This truly impressive debut is a moving story of the heart's cry for independence, regard, and honor, deftly told." --Susan Meissner, author of Only the Beautiful, "A gripping novel about standing up to impossible odds." --People "Draped in the history of Philadelphia's thriving abolition movement, this superb novel shares edge-of-your-seat suspense." --The Washington Post "A page-turning story . . .

A masterpiece." --San Francisco Book Review "Exudes originality . . . [an] altogether absorbing, thought-proving story." --Historical Novel Society " All We Were Promised is a vivid and significant contribution to historical fiction that masterfully recovers the dynamic diversity of Philadelphia's Black community circa 1837. A heartwarming, important work, the novel's carefully considered and nuanced characters, white and Black, complete a fascinating narrative that revives long-ignored details of abolitionist coalitions and flourishing free Black communities who lit the path for the liberation that would follow." --Joshunda Sanders, author of Women of the Post "A compelling tale of three Black women caught between the promises and threats of a supposedly free, pre-Civil War Philadelphia." --Charmaine Wilkerson, author of Black Cake "Masterfully brings the era to life and kept me turning pages.

Nineteenth-century America never felt more gripping or alive." --Michelle Moran, author of Cleopatra's Daughter, "Against the backdrop of untold history, Ashton Lattimore spins a beguiling story of friendship, deception, and women crossing boundaries in the name of freedom. Disparate and deeply real, Charlotte, Nell, and Evie struggle to fully trust one another, but ultimately discover that together they may be stronger than everything their turbulent world casts against them." --Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost Friends "Once in a rare while a book comes along that is so compelling it's impossible to put down. In All We Were Promised , Ashton Lattimore delivers an explosive debut novel which recreates the turbulent city of Philadelphia only two decades before the Civil War. Nineteenth century America has never felt so gripping or alive." --Michelle Moran, international bestselling author of Nefertiti, "Against the backdrop of untold history, Ashton Lattimore spins a beguiling story of friendship, deception, and women crossing boundaries in the name of freedom. Disparate and deeply real, Charlotte, Nell, and Evie struggle to fully trust one another, but ultimately discover that together they may be stronger than everything their turbulent world casts against them." --Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost Friends "A moving story of the heart's cry for independence, regard, and honor--deftly told. So relevant to the current moment and yet fully transportive to the complex years before the Civil War. A truly impressive debut." --Susan Meissner, bestselling author of Only the Beautiful "Once in a rare while a book comes along that is so compelling it's impossible to put down. In All We Were Promised , Ashton Lattimore delivers an explosive debut novel which recreates the turbulent city of Philadelphia only two decades before the Civil War. Nineteenth century America has never felt so gripping or alive." --Michelle Moran, international bestselling author of Nefertiti "Ashton Lattimore's debut All We Were Promised has everything I value most in historical fiction--compelling characters, suspenseful plot and vivid details that bring to life a part of America's past that continues to resonate painfully today. The stories of Nell, Charlotte and Evie brilliantly meld with the story of Philadelphia itself, a city torn apart by abolitionist and pro-slavery advocates in the years leading up to the Civil War. I highly recommend this important, beautiful book." --Tara Conklin, New York Times bestselling author of The House Girl " All We Were Promised brings to life the struggles of Black women in the North before America's Civil War. Ashton Lattimore's deep research and compelling story will enthrall readers of historical fiction; her legal acumen illuminates the complex compromises in laws that supposedly ended slavery. The book weaves in details of indentured servitude, preserved enslavement as Southern whites traveled North with their 'property,' risks of enslavement even for freed persons, and distinct challenges for refugees of the Haitian revolution. Especially indelible are the courage, creativity, and collaboration of the fully-realized main characters. Be prepared to stay up reading to the striking climax!" --Martha Minow, author, legal scholar, and former Dean of Harvard Law School, "Against the backdrop of untold history, Ashton Lattimore spins a beguiling story of friendship, deception, and women crossing boundaries in the name of freedom.
