Powerful. "The New York Times Book Review"
Gripping. "The Boston Globe"
Brilliant. "The New Yorker"
A landmark book. "San Francisco Chronicle"
Everyone should read and learn from this luminous book...["Slaves in the Family"] is not only honest in its scrupulous reporting but also personal narrative at its finest. "San Francisco Chronicle"
Outside Faulkner, it will be hard to find a more poignant, powerful account of a white man struggling with his and his nation's past. "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution"
Much more than bare history...It's the human encounters, and the live, breathing juxtaposition of past and present, that give [Edward Ball's] book its vibrancy and importance. "Detroit Free Press"
A masterpiece . . . It is a work about slaves in the family. But it is also a large omnium-gatherum of enchanting fireside anecdotes, secrets teased out of reluctant fragments from the remote past, the real lives of blacks and whites whose stories had been lost in the disintegrating churn of time until Edward Ball's patient reconstructions. "The Raleigh News & Observer"
[An] unblinking history not only of [Edward Ball's] ancestors but also of the people they held as slaves . . . It reminds us of our common humanity and of the ties that still bind us, no matter what the wounds of the past. "The Philadelphia Inquirer""
