I left this book wanting to cry - in happiness, in sorrow, in grief, in hope - none, both, all of the above.
Ms Stringfellow's prose is artfully composed. The words flow like a poem - or maybe even music. And the stories woven within are like a time machine, taking me - to Memphis, to the Civil Rights movement, to 9/11, and beyond, and before, and everything in between.
I picked up and put down this story a few times, not lacking for quality, but because I was not ready to handle the story being told.
