This book  following the life and genealogy of one African American family and their  triumphs/struggles through history was so well written. It reached so many  emotions on such varying levels that it truly was inspiring. I purchased the  book on a Sunday afternoon and had completed it by Tuesday morning. The author  draws you in to a point you desperately want to assist in finding the family  members yourself. I was so compelled that I have since began searching the  internet to try to find the plantation records myself. This is a beautiful  tribute to a family legacy/history and an amazing read. Bless this family for  years to come.
