A heartbreaking and compelling story of a family's experiences of slavery and the American Civil War.
From Sam Tademy, the son of a runaway slave, and his fiercely strong wife Polly, to the father and son who witness unspeakable crimes, this is a story in which courage and hope do battle with almost unendurable suffering; where real lives collide with history.
Lalita Tademy's first novel, CANE RIVER, was chosen by Oprah Winfrey for her summer book pick, and became a New York Times bestseller for seventeen weeks. She lives and writes in Menlo Park, California.
