Description
A poignant and powerful novel about love, longing, and survival. My Jim is a deeply moving exploration of one woman's life, born in slavery, and her struggle to hold onto her identity and her love for a man who was forced to flee. Through the eyes of Sadie Watson, a formerly enslaved woman, we see a world of beauty and hardship, of loss and resilience. As she recounts her story to her granddaughter, we are drawn into a richly textured portrait of a life lived in secret, of a love that refused to be extinguished. This is a haunting and inspiring story about the enduring power of Black love, and the ways in which it can both sustain us and haunt us.
