Long After We Are Gone by Terah Shelton Harris
4.0
Terah Shelton Harris is a new to me author and one that I will be reading in the future. Prior to starting Long After We Were Gone, I had never heard of heir property nor its impact on Black involuntary land loss, which is at the core of this book and something that should be more widely known.
The story focuses on the four siblings of King Solomon and their quest to save their ancestral home and 200 acres of land after their father’s death. Each of the four siblings are brought to life for the reader through amazing character development and telling of the story through their viewpoints. The siblings demonstrate so many bad life choices from stealing, addiction, anger, violence, lies and secrets. They seem to be continually fighting against each other and failing to see the impact of their behaviors on each other.
The further I read into the story, the more I wanted the Solomon siblings to come together and put aside their differences to save their home and land. I wanted them to use their relationships and connections to help heal each other. I wanted them to be able to keep their home and land and for things to be fair.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed above are my own.
