A Sad, Yet Uplifting Journey

The Water Dancer is a story suffused with sadness (because how could a life of slavery be anything else?) and the joy of the hero quest. It makes a powerful, engrossing combination based on our own country's sordid history of owning other people. I can assure you, you will be more for reading this almost lyrical yet melancholic story.
