Though
it’s set in a remote part of rural East Texas, the story of Love—a
historic black cemetery—is really a quintessential American story of
land theft, racism and environmental destruction that plays out in
different versions in New Orleans, Iraq, and Darfur. It asks whether
we can work together to create a shared future by understanding our
shared history. If you don't have the book, use BookSense to find your local independent bookseller! If that's not possible, see links at left.

"To create a page-turner about our collective shadow is the sweetest gift a writer can offer. May you weep, as did I, for what she discovers in these piney woods, and through this offering know your country and self in humbling new ways." Paul Hawken, author of Blessed Unrest, How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming (Viking, May 2007) |
