Authors In Your Pocket Show 04/11/07 Lalita Tademy, Red River (Graphically Enhanced)

NYT best-selling author Lalita Tademy weaves together history and the story of her own family to bring us an epic work of fiction, the dramatic, intertwining story of two families struggling to make a place for themselves in an America deeply divided after the Civil War. A unique accomplishment, this is the history never before told, brought to life through the unforgettable lives of three generations of African American husbands and wives, parents and children. A saga of violence, courage, and most of all, dreams broken, repaired and strengthened over time, Red River explores issues that resonate to this day....as it illuminates the sometimes heartbreaking choices we all must make to claim the legacy that is ours. Tademy's first novel, CANE RIVER, was chosen as an Oprah's Bookclub(r) Pick.
