Recenzii
“A rich and unique landscape peopled with characters and plots as unusual as they are delightful.”
“Lyn Ford has given us much more than a book of tales. She has opened the door to her home, invited us in and offered us a meal that is rich with morsels of culture, humor, heart, and history. The minute I read the line, ‘One does not give power to those who try to subvert knowledge, simply because it does not fit into their own worldview,’ I knew that I was going to love this book. And that was just the preface.”
“When I closed the book, I felt like I’d just been given a party—a party that said welcome home friend.”
"Lyn’s stories bring her native world—the Appalachian culture of African-Americans--to life with wonder, laughter and wisdom.”
