Title: Family Ties
Review: The members of this family tree locates the beginning of their roots remembering their ancestors being born of slaves and Indian decent.Very well detailed and graphic in content about the perils of slavery, agony, defeat, triumph, incest and betrayal.The story is parallel to the author's previous novel "SUGAR" but with a much different twist. The novel is narrated from the 20th century; reflections by Dumpling & her daughter, Sherry, as they travel by SUV from Nevada to Georgia; whereas "SUGAR" & "THIS BITTER EARTH" is written from an earlier century, from Sugar's point of view. (Both excellent books.)The only drawback I had about this story is the undertone reference to voodoo. Other than that, the story was well written.
Is the review positive or negative?
