Well developed characters that cared deeply for one another. I highly recommend reading this book if you like historical fiction. Review: Yellow Crocus - Author: Laila Ibrahim Published By: Flaming Chalice Press Age Recommended: Adult Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Raven Rating: 4 Blog Reviewed For: GMTA Review: "Yellow Crocus" by Laila Ibrahim was indeed a different read for me. As a African America I am very careful with any read about slavery however, I will say this was indeed a good, wonderful, touching and very emotional read. Once I started reading this historical novel I could not put it down. In the year of 1837, Lisbeth Wainwright was the daughter of a Virginia plantation owner that was reared by a black slave named Mattie. One of her favorite songs... 'Go to sleepy little baby, Go to sleepy little baby.' Truly, this Mattie was more of a mother to Lisbeth than her own mother (Mrs. Ann Wainwright). This was truly a travel though the life of Elizabeth (Lisbeth) and Mattie's journey through this time in history. This is a true story that did bring tears, other times a smile and then at times well.... A few weeks before Elizabeth's wedding she caught her fiance Edward with a black slave girl. Now how was she to get out of this wedding? What an explanation from her mothers on this subject...Wow! However, there is hope for Lisbeth.. .there is Matthew Johnson. The character's in "Yellow Crocus" were really interesting....helped bringing out this story of love, redemption, lost, and even hope. Can you believe who Lisbeth midwife was? You will just have to put up this read to find out the answers. Surprise! "Yellow Crocus" is definitely a novel that will cause to to think. and remember long after the read. I would like to thank the author was a honest awarding good read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #68,318 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #69 in Southern Fiction #112 in Black & African American Historical Fiction (Books) #2,277 in Women's Literature & Fiction | | Book 1 of 5 | Yellow Crocus | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (71,651) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1 x 8.25 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1477824758 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1477824757 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 252 pages | | Publication date | August 19, 2014 | | Publisher | Lake Union Publishing | ## Images ![Yellow Crocus - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XtwfGAuRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a very sweet story in a horrible time in history *by M***A on January 22, 2026* Delightful read.

Maybe I’m making up for lost time, or maybe this book was just that good that I couldn’t put it down 3 nights in a row. Both are probably true, but I’m happy to report I really liked this book. It falls into the historical fiction category taking place on a plantation in Virginia in the mid-1800′s. The story follows Lisbeth Wainwright and her nurse Mattie, a slave pulled away from her family into the “big house” to care for Lisbeth at the moment of her birth. The story follows Lisbeth from her birth into adulthood. You feel as if you are there with her as she deals with family, friends, the help, social standing, her personal conflicts, and ultimately a very difficult decision. It is during a time where slavery is part of life but some are beginning to question it as the North changes their views and slaves are freed. I felt transported back to a time that I can’t even imagine, but was painted a very vivid picture of. I like to think I would be like Lisbeth, as my heart just hurts for Mattie and her family and fellow slaves, and realize what was going on what not right. But what if it was all you knew and an accepted part of life? I am glad for those who stood up for others who could not and thankful to live in a FREE country where all men are truly created equal (didn’t we have the same Declaration of Independence even then?) The story will bring you to tears and melt your heart at the same time. The ending was perfect and I just felt very satisfied. Lisbeth and Mattie are both amazing characters, and I was very impressed to read that this book is this author’s first book. I will keep an eye out for her in the future, but in the meantime – read this book – you won’t be disappointed! ## Frequently Bought Together - Yellow Crocus - Mustard Seed (Yellow Crocus) - Golden Poppies: A Novel (Yellow Crocus) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/3929940-yellow-crocus](https://www.desertcart.at/products/3929940-yellow-crocus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
