From the writer of the bestselling River, Combination My Heart and soul - a compelling and lyrical new book in regards to a young black girl in the Civil Battle era who discovers refuge in a racially tolerant community. Russell's Knob is not paradise. But already in 1863 this NJ highlands settlement houses a diverse people of blacks and whites and reds who've intermarried and lived in relative harmony for generations. It is a haven for Dossie Parrot, who has escaped north across the Underground Railroad and now feels the embrace of the Smoot family: Duncan (a great deal over the age of Dossie; could he expect her to be his helpmeet?), his reticent sister, his exuberant nephews, and a circle of friends that includes the local spirit girl, Noelle. Tentatively, Dossie commences to lay out origins - until an take action of violence propels her away from Russell's Knob and eventually into the mayhem of NY City's mean roads. With the same storytelling brio that distinguished the acclaimed books River, Combination My Heart and soul and Stand the Surprise, Breena Clarke weaves the richly dramatic story of one woman's triumph in the crucible of record.
