Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-04 00:00:00 Shawn Eric I read this book because I am writing a similar novel about a family of women, and wanted to see what had been written. Tarpley's novel reads more like poetry. In the first two sections it is less of a story and more the recalling of memories. The last section definitely ties the book together in discussing the bond between mothers and daughters, and how their stories intertwine and are ever evolving. Interesting read but I wanted more of a story and not poetic prose.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-10 00:00:00 Steve Fehl I didn't know what to expect from the book since the author is famous for mostly children's books but I was really wrong. This book speaks to the courage that black women have had for centuries making journeys across the world to make a better life for themselves and generations to come. My book club also had the pleasure to meet the author at one of our meetings.
