What a terrific book! I could hardly put it down. Hodes's detective work in chasing down scattered information about Eunice and all of her various family members and relatives is extraordinary. Equally so is the way Hodes puts it together in a narrative that holds the reader's tight attention, wanting to know how things came out. Eunice's story is so poignant but at the same time, in many ways, a story of triumph over adversity that is inspiring" (James McPherson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Battle Cry of Freedom"."I couldn't put it down. I was with Eunice, heart and soul, on every page. A gripping story" (Paulette Jiles, author of "Enemy Women").
