Review :
These compelling writings reveal the history of the southern town of Shiloh, North Carolina through personal stories, reflections, historical references, and photographs. The cadence of dialogue and descriptions in each scene transports the reader into a world where you simultaneously remember and forget your own personal identity. The vivid human experiences and emotions are relatable, beautifully complex, and, at times, heartbreaking and humorous. As a White woman from the U.S. north, these readings challenge assumptions and reveal African American experiences in the south from an insider's point of view. The generosity of this book is in its ability to invite readers to witness the historical importance of Shiloh and the evolution of her people as society moved from segregation to integration. In parallel, the writer shares her personal journey of growing into her own definition of self and her place in the world. Kim Kita
