"I read this book several years ago, but I was inspired by the way he wove family tales and historical records together to tell the story about the slaves owned by his ancestors, the Ball family (many generations, actually). As an amateur genealogist, I have read many dry family history books. Edward Ball's book inspires me to, one day, write a book like this about my own family. He brought these people to life and it was a fascinating read."
"This award winning (national book award) was sheer pleasure to read. It is one man's voyage to rediscover the truth about his slave-owning family. Going on this voyage with him offers a fascinating glimpse into our nation's history, and teaches us that here really is no such thing as 'black' or 'white'"
