This story was the tale of Bishop "Chicken" Johnson, his African wife Abeni, and their daughter Hunnie. The author weaved an intricate pattern by taking care to delve into the soul of these characters individually before they are introduced to one another. Each character serves a purpose in this novel and we are given the who, what, where, when, and why they are who they are. Bravo to the author as far too often we aren't provided so many clues or vivid details. I highly recommend this book and...more
This was such a thorough and heartbreaking story I wish there was a Part 2. Although graphic in detail, I learned a lot about the politically charged content in this novel and I see African people in such a different light. I feel blessed and am grateful to have had this book recommended to me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
The cover of this book does it no justice. I hated for this book to end. It was such a great story, and the author did a wonderful job telling it. Do not judge this book by the cover. You will be pleasantly surprised.
This book was slow in the beginning but after the first few chapters I was deeply engrossed in it. I couldn't put it down. I learned a lot about the culture in Africa and how they view women.
I highly higly recommend this book. A well written book. Grabs your attention from the beginning til the end. I read it for the first time about 5 yrs ago but read it again last month.

I learned a lot about african tribal traditions that maybe I didn't want to know. Also, this book is a wonderful depiction of what a man will do for the woman he loves.

Me second favorite book of all time. This book took me through many different emotions. It was raw and sometimes gritty. It was deep. I loved it!
