Calling all book clubs! Breena Clarke, whose River, Cross My Heart was a 1999 Oprah pick scores again....She tells the deeply affecting story of a family of freed slaves in an evocative, historically rich book that brings the turbulent Civil War period alive' - Time
"Passionate, dramatic, and uplifting" (Washington Post), Stand the Storm is an "evocative, historically rich" novel (Time) from the author of River, Cross My Heart set among the free African American community of pre-Civil War Washington, DC.
The remarkable emotional energy with which the Coatses wage their daily battles-as they negotiate with their former owner, as they assist escaped slaves en route to freedom, as they prepare for the encroaching war, and as they strive to love each other enough-is what propels Stand the Storm and makes the novel''s tragic denouement so devastating.
"A gripping novel about a family''s heart-wrenching journey out of slavery." --Baltimore Sun
