The Water Dancer: A Novel
This is the dramatic story of an atrocity inflicted on generations of women, men, and children—the violent and capricious separation of families—and the war they waged to simply make lives with the people they loved. Written by one of today’s most exciting thinkers and writers, The Water Dancer is a propulsive, transcendent work that restores the humanity of those from whom everything was stolen.

Wow. What a book. One story, wonderfully written and beautifully told, of the ugly truth of our nation and one man’s journey in the Underground. With a touch of magic!
I really enjoyed the story of Hiram Walker and how the author weaved in true stories from the Underground Railroad and Harriett Tubman. But after I was finished and reflecting on all of it, there were some big questions I had that were unanswered and some things that happened that I found no rhyme nor reason for, other than as purely a plot device, and I was troubled by that. But it was engaging as a story, and thought provoking.
