Synopsis
Jonas wants to keep the memory of his beloved Gullah grandfather alive by representing his family at the traditional storytelling contest, even though he feels like a nervous child trying to do a man's job., Set in the Gullah community of the Sapelo Island, this is the story of Oree, who is selected by his grandmother to represent the family at the local storytelling contest. As Oree practices his story, an old family favorite, he worries that he doesn't have his grandfather's gift for telling tales.

Industry Reviews
"Turning the pages of this book is like entering another world, one of salt marshes, shrimp nets, and spirits. The sense of place is palpable; just as vivid is the feel of the heat, the smell of the gumbo. Along the way readers get a few tales, tantalizing snatches of the Gullah language, and a snapshot of another way of life. A simple story that somehow seems to fill the senses."
