Glory Over Everything: Beyond The Kitchen House
by Kathleen Grissom
I never thought the Kitchen House was a book I’d enjoy but I loved it so much and the woman who lent it to me lent me this as well so I gobbled it up. I don’t get attached to characters in every book I read but these books I get attached to MULTIPLE characters. I’ve seen people complain in reviews about historical accuracy but IDGAF. This author can tell a story and she does it by rotating characters through the chapters.
This is a follow up of the kitchen house, where one of the characters in the old book who grew up thinking he was white, later learned he had a black mother. He wound up moving up north, living successfully, getting adopted by a well to do whites family and inheriting their business. But he can’t be who he really is, which he doesn’t even know what they means. He himself grew up looking down on black people, can he can even fall in love.. because if he does what might his chicken look like?
There’s a lot of layers to these stories and books. I’m really glad one of the nurses put them on my desk.
