Overview
A powerful fictionalized account of Zora Neale Hurstonās childhood adventures explores the idea of collective memory and the lingering effects of slavery.
āHistory aināt in a book, especially when it comes to folks like us. History is in the lives we lived and the stories we tell each other about those lives.ā
When Zora Neale Hurston and her best friend, Carrie Brown, discover that the town mute can speak after all, they think theyāve uncovered a big secret. But Mr. Polkās silence is just one piece of a larger puzzle that stretches back half a century to the tragic story of an enslaved girl named Lucia. As Zoraās curiosity leads a reluctant Carrie deeper into the mystery, the story unfolds through alternating narratives. Luciaās struggle for freedom resonates through the years, threatening the future of Americaās first incorporated black township ā the hometown of author Zora Neale Hurston (1891ā1960). In a riveting coming-of-age tale, award-winning author T. R. Simon champions the strength of a people to stand up for justice.
