This “gripping and deeply affecting” historical fiction debut set during the Civil War era has echoes of Twelve Years a Slave , Cold Mountain , and Beloved ( Buzzfeed ). For a runaway slave in the 1840s south, life on the run can be just as dangerous as life under a sadistic Massa. That’s what fifteen–year–old Naomi learns after she escapes the brutal confines of life on an Alabama plantation and takes refuge in a Georgia brothel run by a gun–toting Jewish madam named Cynthia. Amidst a revolving door of gamblers and prostitutes, Naomi falls into a love affair with a smooth–talking white man named Jeremy. The product of their union is Josey, whose white skin and blond hair mark her as different from the others on the plantation. Having been taken in as an infant by a free slave named Charles, Josey has never known her mother, who was murdered at her birth. Josey soon becomes caught in the tide of history when news of the Emancipation Proclamation reaches her and a day of supposed freedom turns into one of unfathomable violence that will define Josey—and her lost mother—for years to come. Review: A Mother's Undying Love - This luminous novel is narrated by a dead girl. Naomi is 17 years old. She is a Black slave who led a short, cruel life. She died giving birth to her daughter-but her spirit lingers on earth because she cannot bear to leave her. The book alternates between Naomi's memories and her daughter's life as she watches over her. This novel is emotional, deeply touching, and horrifying when it describes the cruelties of slavery. What struck me the most, however, was the author's amazing use of words to paint descriptions so real that the reader can almost see, hear, smell, taste, and feel along with Naomi. A novel written like poetry, but at the same time gritty and true to life. A remarkable book. Review: Soul stirring - I had a little trouble following who was who the way the chapters and timelines were set, but I got the core of the story and the amazing valor lived. I loved the writing and deeply poetic descriptions of so many emotions, actions, scenery, smells, thoughts. Wonderful and worthwhile reading; I feel the need to stand and salute those valiant lives. Kind of in a daze. Well. Moving on, now I need to read whatever else she’s written! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,077,279 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #756 in Black & African American Historical Fiction (Books) #1,544 in Multigenerational Fiction (Books) #7,261 in Family Saga Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 822 Reviews | ## Images ![Grace: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810sk5KcLXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Mother's Undying Love *by B***A on December 10, 2017* This luminous novel is narrated by a dead girl.

I became so enmeshed in the characters. The skipping from one time frame to another was fascinating and done iǹ a way that was easy to keep up with. For fans of historical fiction, the understanding of the descent of madness, the ferocity and desperation of a first love in any form, and the interactions of humanity in all it's complicated forms, this is above and beyond perfection for me.
