| (by- Linda ) |
I was a big fan of this this author's THE KITCHEN HOUSE, so when I read Glory Over Everything picks up where that story left off, I was thrilled and couldn't wait to read it. Glory Over Everything is a story that follows James Pyke and how, after escaping slavery at a young age, he came to live as white man enjoying life as one of Philadelphia's elite.
This story is gripping and shows the far reaching effects of slavery, including the stigma it carries long after the shackles are removed. Parts of this story are heart wrenching and other parts illuminating and thought-provoking as James struggles with his identity and moral obligations. This is an emotionally charged book that is also inspirational. Recommend
