Goodness gracious, this book is so beautiful. I just finished it and think I may pick it up and read it again right away. Like a poem, rhythm, word choice and simplicity build effortless images and character sketches. It broadened my understanding of my American History and heritage. I loved every moment, even the frequent painful ones.
