The pale-skinned, black-eyed baby is a bad omen. That’s one thing the people on the old plantation are sure of. The other is that Miss Rue – midwife, healer, crafter of curses – will know what to do.
But for once Rue doesn’t know. Times have changed since her mother Miss May Belle held the power to influence the life and death of her fellow slaves. Freedom has come. The master’s Big House lies in ruins. But this new world brings new dangers, and Rue’s old magic may be no match for them.
The writer is immersed in sensory awareness of the natural world, and his memories are vivid with textures, sounds and sights which give the reader access to them. Each recollection is brief but intense and impressionistic in its dynamic impact. The power of the contrasts given to us in his travels resonates with the awareness he has of the complexity of human experience. These are insights and glimpses which activate the reader’s own memories and curiosities about the whole adventure of journeying through deeply felt landscapes — Dr Devika Brandon
“I don’t want you to dwell on these unconscionable acts of violence. I want you to embrace the luxurious beauty that you are. The amazing grace of your darkness.”
There is a common thread, a universality that holds us all together. Like the roots of trees clinging together beneath the soil. On the surface we see trees that seem separate, growing in a variety of trajectories reaching for the warm rays of the sun. But under the surface roots become intertwined, woven together in an indestructible web. A web that holds strong when typhoons and tsunamis hit the surface. A root bond, that keeps us believing in the human spirit. The vibrance of the soul and the strength of our being.
