Review
""Crossing Blood" is simply one of the best books I've ever read, and for a first novel, it's astonishing. Nanci Kincaid has a way of getting under my skin with her wise and soulful portrayal of flesh-and-blood characters who remind us all of the pain and pleasure of being human. She's already one of our best storytellers with a lot more to come. " Robert Inman"
"Finally, a southern novel that a black person can love, can believe. Crossing Blood signals the arrival of a major talent among American novelists. " Henry Louis Gates, Jr"
