Hush Now, Baby

Angela s prose plunges us back in time when a generation of white children were raised by the calloused hands of slaves who, despite being freed by Lincoln, remained chained to a stubborn way of life. Instead of killing us in our sleep, they became our guardian angels, for reasons still mysteriously misunderstood. --Ken Burger, author of" Swallow Savannah," " Sister Santee," "Salkehatchie Soup," and" Baptized in Sweet Tea.""
