This novel, based on fact, details the lives of decendants of pre-Civil War slaves. Family pictures and copies of documents are a wonderful addition. Ms. Tademy has written an amazing family history that should be required reading.

The book impressed me greatly. Lalita Tademy the author retraces the roots of her African-American family. It was unique history written like a novel. Her roots were from slaves. free people of color and whites. What I like most was the family togetherness that last five generations.

This is a FABULOUS book for many reasons.
