""Before she was seven, Ishma, the youngest child of Marshall and Laviny Waycaster, had joined the class of burden-bearers. By the time she was thirteen there was little rest for her except on Sunday...Written with breathtaking beauty and keenness of feeling, Call Home the Heart recalls a not-so-distant period of American working people's history that we can be both proud and pained to know."
(J.L., p. 374)
