Terah Shelton Harris certainly has a way with words. The story of the Solomons had me laughing, crying, commiserating, and cheering on some paramount moments. The story is raw, gritty, and honest with characters who are very well developed. It's been a while since I've just stopped for a moment after reading a book to ruminate on it before moving on to the next read, and Long After We Are Gone, had me do just that.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark publishing for an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review!

Beautifully written novel about legacy, family and the rippling effects of our decisions. A testament to the reality of many black families, but particularly those in the gullah-geechee community.

I liked Mance storyline the most. The other siblings were so irritating to me.
