Publisher's Synopsis
The sequel to Lalita Tademy's bestselling CANE RIVER, the heartbreaking and compelling story of her family's experiences of slavery and the American Civil War.
Now, in RED RIVER, she takes readers on a new journey: that of her father's family, whose experiences were more dramatic and painful still. From Sam Tademy, the son of a runaway slave, and his fiercely strong wife Polly, to the father and son who witness unspeakable crimes, this is an unforgettably moving novel of true lives which collided with history.
