The NAACP Image Award-winning poet makes her fiction debut with this magisterial epic-an intimate yet sweeping novel with all the luminescence and force of Homegoing Sing, Unburied, Sing and The Water Dancer-that chronicles the journey of one American family, from the centuries of the colonial slave trade through the Civil War to our own tumultuous era. I was just enraptured by the lineage and the story of this modern African-American family.

Longlisted for the National Book Award for Fiction.
