We discover the beautiful portrayal of a mother’s love, one’s will to live and our protagonist’s drive to find freedom, and ultimately, himself. In the novel, readers will embark on a poignant journey from the womb, onto the Jordan Plantation, to the Perry Plantation, and deep into the wilderness of the American South alongside a young boy named John, a.k.a Jimbo. Through his Homerean pilgrimage we see him go from a boy to a man; slave to human.\n\nAt the heart of the narrative, our narrator, a timeless and genderless griot named Krsnah, outlines the unwavering growth of a mother’s love, whose strength and sacrifice serve as a guiding force for Jimbo. Moreover, using a contemporary lens, the narrator delves deeply into the intricacies of whiteness and the frailties of white supremacy, challenging readers to confront uncomfortable truths about privilege, power, and complicity.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FDLD1GKN\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0FDLD1GKN.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Reynolds, Christopher\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
