“A wonderful first-person narrative . . . both a love story and a
chronicle of a brutal time in American history.” —Chicago
Tribune
“My Jim is a compelling, eloquently written novel that can stand on
its own merits beside the great works that inspired it.” —San
Francisco Chronicle
“Rawles’s affecting spin-off of Twain’s classic gives the resilient
Sadie Watson a harrowing story and a powerful voice to tell it.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“In a spare, naturalistic style that’s reminiscent of oral history,
Rawles covers territory Twain did not....As heart-wrenching a
personal history as any recorded in American literature.” —New York
Times Book Review
