From the author of Touch and One Dark Body come these haunting, hypnotic tales about the African American experience, stories that move into the realm of the otherworldly. As Colleen J. McElroy puts it in her introduction, “In the tradition of Buchi Emecheta, Simone Schwatz-Bart, Toni Cade Bambara, Isabel Allende and a host of other women writers who are storytellers, Charlotte Watson Sherman spins tales that are part magic, part song. In eleven stories of magnificent presence, Watson Sherman casts reflections of a world too often turned upside down by its own special vision, a world in which passions quicken and fold, resting palpably on the page.”
