“Passionate, dramatic, and uplifting” (Washington Post), Stand the Storm is an “evocative, historically rich” novel (Time) from the author of River, Cross My Heart set among the free African American community of pre-Civil War Washington, DC.
The remarkable emotional energy with which the Coatses wage their daily battles-as they negotiate with their former owner, as they assist escaped slaves en route to freedom, as they prepare for the encroaching war, and as they strive to love each other enough-is what propels Stand the Storm and makes the novel’s tragic denouement so devastating.
“A gripping novel about a family’s heart-wrenching journey out of slavery.” —Baltimore Sun
