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."
