"An epic and true story of race, religion, history, and identity"

Leading Christian activist Lisa Sharon Harper has spent three decades exploring ten generations of her family history through DNA research, oral histories, interviews, and genealogy. Drawing on that experience, Fortune recovers the beauty of her heritage, exposes the brokenness that race has wrought in America, and casts a vision for collective repair.

"Nothing less than an epic and true story of race, religion, history, and identity."
--Jemar Tisby, New York Times bestselling author of The Color of Compromise and How to Fight Racism

"Harper is one of our nation's most critical voices on the issues of race, gender, faith, and justice."
--Kirsten Powers, New York Times bestselling author, CNN senior political analyst, and USA Today columnist

"Brilliant."
--Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, president, Repairers of the Breach; author of We Are Called to Be a Movement

"Harper is a masterful storyteller."
--Ruby Sales, founder of the Spirithouse Project, long distance runner for justice, social critic, popular educator, and Black folk theologian
