Review
"This is a novel of healing, and a seeming culmination of Lester's scholarship and faith in humanity. Not to be missed." --Boxed, "Publishers Weekly" "Absorbing." --"Washington Post Book World" "Lester makes the history immediate . . .the beautifully individualized characters reveal the lies of slavery." --"Booklist""" "Could be useful as part of a unit on slavery, or in a Black History class." --"VOYA""" "Lester has created a rich, complex and rewarding novel." --"Kirkus Reviews""" "This is a powerful novel for mature readers. Fraught with sorrow, brutality, triumph, and joy." --"School Library Journal""" "Intense and profound. Lester's unapologetic insertion of spiritist reality into the everyday life of the slaves will undoubtedly move young people into a deeper understanding of the roots of African-American ideology and faith." --"The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books""" "Fascinating." --"Chicago"" Tribune"
