Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments Call Home the Heart, Fielding Burke (Olive Tilford Dargan), 1932, United States, NOVEL

""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)
