About this ebook
From the shores of Africa to the bowels of a transatlantic ship to a voting booth in Mississippi to the jungles of Vietnam, all human connection is a matter of souls.
In this stirring collection of short stories, Denise Lewis Patrick considers the souls of black men and women across centuries and continents. In each, she takes the measure of their dignity, describes their dreams, and catalogs their fears.
Brutality, beauty, laughter, rage, and love all take their turns in each story, but the final impression is of indomitable, luminous, and connected souls.

Denise Lewis Patrick writes chapter books for several big franchises including American Girl and Ready to Read. She also writes novels for middle grade and teen readers. She lives in New Jersey.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An amazing collection of short stories that tell of prejudice, hatred, coping, and sorrow, in a time past, but not forgotten or even far enough away.
