This book focuses on the lives of slaves in the Mississippi delta, before the war. Paying tribute to some of the terrible things that occurred during those years, but primarily focuses on hope, pride, faith and healing.
I loved this book, it is not to be rushed through but enjoyed as the layers are peeled away.
I do wish I still had a Gran Gran in my life.
