When two Union soldiers stumble onto a plantation in northern Georgia on a warm May day in 1864, the last thing they expect is to see the Union flag flying high—or to be greeted by a group of freed slaves and their Jewish mistress. Little do they know that this place has an unusual history.Twelve years prior, Adelaide Mannheim—daughter of Mordecai, the only Jewish planter in the county—was given her own maid, a young slave named Rachel. The two became friends, and soon they discovered a secret: Mordecai was Rachel’s father, too.As the country moved toward war, Adelaide and Rachel struggled to navigate their newfound sisterhood—from love and resentment to betrayal and, ultimately, forgiveness.Now, facing these Union soldiers as General Sherman advances nearer, their bond is put to the ultimate test. Will the plantation be spared? Or will everything they’ve lived for be lost?Revised edition: Previously published as Slave and Sister, this edit
Sabra Waldfogel grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but has always been fascinated by the drama of slavery and freedom in the South, before and after the Civil War. She studied history at Harvard University and received her PhD in American history from the University of Minnesota. Since then, she has worked as a technical writer and has written about historic architecture for Old House Journal and Arts and Crafts Homes. Waldfogel’s short story “Yemaya” appeared in Sixfold’s Winter 2013 fiction issue. In her free time, she collects and sells antiques with her husband. Sister of Mine is her first novel.
He is, it turns out, a gifted storyteller and teacher to boot.
Well worth the read, be sure to keep it around--you'll tell other people to read it. And the beautiful illustrations keep his attention focused on the book as I read to him. Eventually, Bhagavan Das retires to a mountain peak above Harbin Hot Springs with his teenage wife, leading kirtans and hopefully finding some peace.
The book abounds with contradictions. Through literary perversity, she mocks both the exorcists and the afflicted sufferers, sounding almost like a God-hating demon herself. Destined to be enjoyed by all ages, it is a book one can read over and over again and still notice something new, hidden, & fascinating within it's pages.
In addition, Sunny is an incredible joy to have at book signings & I highly recommend him. It doesn't matter if you are 10 pounds overweight or 200 pounds, it is about the Lord! You will be so glad to be free and finally have food in the right place i
