"BALL is a first-rate scholar-journalist . . . He's also a good detective, tracking down the many descendants of Ball slaves from New York to California and back in the South and coaxing them, often with some difficulty, to tell their stories . . . 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
