My brother read this and said it was a great book.It has some racist and offensive language though.This is the story of one family.From 18-century Sierra Leone to present-day Harlem, the thread of a remarkable history runs through the heart of every member of the Lewis family- a family who can still see remnants of the shackles that enslaved some of its members.This is the story of pride, struggle,love and the plot of land that binds generations together.(Summary from The Glory Fields)This is a great book about African American history fiction.Walter Dean Myers is an excellent writer who entertains me alot
