About this book
Based on the author's own family history, this sweeping saga spans four generations of African American women navigating slavery, freedom, and identity along Louisiana's Cane River.
Critics praise it as meticulously researched and quietly devastating — an Oprah's Book Club pick that reviewers compare to Roots for its sweep and intimacy.
