Daniels is a remarkably gifted writer who sings a tremblingly beautiful song.? ?Dannye Romine Powell, author of <... more » ?As a black woman artist who deals with race and identity in my paintings, I resonated with the inner conflicts of Lucy Daniels? beautifully drawn characters in The Eyes of the Father.? ?Beverly McIver, Artist ?Simple clarity lit onto layers of complex emotions are the brushstrokes by which Lucy Daniels paints her tale of a South never rid of its history. The Eyes of the Father sings to a soulful rhythm of sustenance in the battle between tradition and its invisible enemy, indifference.? ?Martin Tucker, Writer/Editor As a small child in Los Angeles, blue-eyed, red-haired, black-skinned Lily Price, daughter of a flamboyant white musician and a beautiful black singer, glories in the delight her father shows for her and her strikingly ?special? appearance.
