The Blood Of My Mother A Powerful Historical Saga About Family Race And Overcoming Adversity This Wilderness Is A Deadly Place Especially For A Woman 1st Edition Summary: A woman fights for her life as a refugee, slave, mother, and farmer, in this "saga with many layers...[a] riveting, addictive journey" (Joanne Hardy, author of The Girl in the Butternut Dress).After the deaths of her white father and mixed-race mother, young Eliza is left with neither home nor family in the newly forming frontier of Texas.Enslaved by men who treat her body as their property, she eventually escapes, marries, becomes a mother, and realizes her dream of having a small farm. But she must fight and kill to keep it—even if it does mean welcoming others who have been shunned or forgotten by society. Living and labouring together, will these outcasts find the strength and community they need to survive and flourish?*********Acclaimed for her “wonderful” debut novel (Publishers Weekly), Roccie Hill, inspired by the story of her great-great-grandmother, now presents an unforgettable literary saga of a woman and a place, growing and enduring under multiple flags and through the sorrows and turbulence of history.“Lonesome Dove meets Where the Crawdads Sing. I simply could not put this novel down. Vividly written, The Blood of My Mother is a gripping saga about a perilous time in our nation’s history and a woman who survived it against all odds. It is a novel about how love and hope transcend man’s inhumanity to man. I was pulled deeply into the story and was held there until the very last page.” - Patricia Wood author of LOTTERY. Shortlisted in 2008 for the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction.
