  • "Growing up in the low country of South Carolina, big, blue-black Marietta would rather roam the marshes and fish than make baskets like most of the other women. When her mother dies, she takes a job in Charleston, returns home to have twin boys and heads back to Charleston when it's in the throes of the Civil Rights movement. Her twins are athletic, playing in the NHL, which leads her to California where she feels out of place. Maintaining her dignity and pride in her heritage, she takes her place as the "Aint Sister" of her generation, providing earthly advice to her children."
  • "A historic novel about a young woman forced to grow up quickly, and whose life—as well as those of her twin sons—changes with the current of the times Beginning in the late 1950s, this novel tells the story of Marietta Cook, a tall girl growing up in Pine Gardens, a Gullah-speaking village in South Carolina. When Marietta’s mother passes, she heads to Charleston in search of her uncle—only to find a lover and return pregnant with twins two years later. She raises her sons back home in the low country before moving the family to Charleston, where she takes a growing interest in football and the civil rights movement. The boys grow huge and talented at the game, playing pro football in California. A new world and new travails await, but Marietta’s great resilience endures. This is the life of an extraordinary soul, and a novel with a beautifully vivid sense of place."@en
