Two systems of justice can never be right. This book is a good read but disappointing to see that the real perpetrators never faced justice which seems like the norm in the history of our country.

This was a nicely executed glimpse into the past. The Walkers were ahead of their time!

First novel by this Author? Are you kidding me. This story is incredible. So descriptive, so full of “humanness”, so beautifully written. I didn’t want the story to end. Please - Book 2 has got to follow!

Beautifully imagined story of what must must have been the cataclysm of the post civil war era

It is hard to believe that this book os Nathan Harris’ debut novel. For a first attempt he crafted a story that is concurrently as old as time and fresh in vision. A journey of varied personas interweaving and displacing each other simultaneously. The stories culminating into a single vista that shows us the unraveling of reality brought on by the outcomes and violence of war. Setting the story in the promise and disappointment of the Reconstruction period dredges up old wounds and conflicts. A fresh coat of paint is applied to this worn picture using distinct marginalized and harried voices we don’t often get to see from this time period. There is no rosy retelling of a broken past but instead a recasting of how hope springs from the ashes of heartbreak. Harris demonstrates unique talent in how his character building by way of the thoughtful clarity he gives to each voice and artful word craft. The combination presents the reader with glimpses into the power of dreams and nightmares alike. Showing us how the hopes and fears of each character motivates each towards their true self. I don’t envy Nathan Harris for the task he has now of following up this brilliant work.

Excellent memories and insights into humankind from each of the story’s characters.

How a person can write so beautifully and spin such an amazing story. Didn’t want it to end.

It was a great story and I thought an actual depiction of the civil war. Once he wrote in the same sex encounters between soldiers it changed. No need. Should have just stayed with the war, the free slaves etc.

I absolutely Loved Nathan’s precise description to detail, from beginning to end. It was not hard at all to envision each character, personality, emotion or scenery. This book is a screenplay all set for motion. A Great Read Indeed. Thank You 🙏🏽 Nathan Parker for your talents and gift.

Terrific.
