I first read this about 12 years ago, and it is still one of my favorite books, still telling friends about it. I've read it several times, and each time I learn something new from it, I find new meaning in it as I get older. Ninah and James are two incredible characters living in the means of their family's religious beliefs, their Grandfather the head of it all. The story flows in the past and present beautifully, telling you the story of Nana and Grandpa Herman, and in the present with Ninah, James, and the rest of the family.

I was a little embarassed in my English class at CCU; when I was telling the class this was one of my favorite books on our first day, one of my classmates commented that Sheri Reynolds was her aunt!!! This author lived in this area, and even came to the class a few years later since this turned into a reading assignment.......

Loved this. Just writing this review makes me want to go get it and start reading.
