Thomas Norman DeWolf. Brilliance Corporation, $34.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-1-4233-5064-4
Written and narrated by DeWolf, a descendant of one of the largest slave-trading families in the history of the U.S., this tale is an account of his own struggles to comprehend the bloodied past while confronting it head-on. Despite his inexperience, DeWolf's reading is concise and firm, never wavering as he relates the tragic tale or distancing himself from its weighty reality. Offering believable, sympathetic characters throughout, DeWolf seems a seasoned narrative professional and never falls into self-indulgence, doing this amazing story justice. Simultaneous release with the Beacon Press hardcover (Reviews, Oct. 22).
