SynopsisThe latest New York Times bestseller from the author of the beloved book club favorite The Kitchen House is a heart racing story about a man's treacherous journey through the twists and turns of the Underground Railroad on a mission to save the boy he swore to protect. Glory Over Everything is "gripping...breathless until the end" ( Kirkus Reviews ). The year is 1830 and Jamie Pyke, a celebrated silversmith and notorious ladies' man, is keeping a deadly secret. Passing as a wealthy white aristocrat in Philadelphian society, Jamie is now living a life he could never have imagined years before when he was a runaway slave, son of a southern black slave and her master. But Jamie's carefully constructed world is threatened when he discovers that his married socialite lover, Caroline, is pregnant and his beloved servant Pan, to whose father Jamie owes his own freedom, has been captured and sold into slavery in the South. Fleeing the consequences of his deceptions, Jamie embarks on a trip to a North Carolina plantation to save Pan from the life he himself barely escaped as a boy. With the help of a fearless slave, Sukey, who has taken the terrified young boy under her wing, Jamie navigates their way, racing against time and their ruthless pursuers through the Virginia backwoods, the Underground Railroad, and the treacherous Great Dismal Swamp.

Could NOT Put This Book Down!
This book, "Glory Over Everything", is the sequel to "The Kitchen House". It is very well written, and it is written with the language/dialect, thoughts, and culture of the times in the South, early 1800's. My heart & soul hurt for the slaves & all of the continual injustices. It is an eye-opener for people not in the know. I did not know, and I was not aware. I cried. The author studied & visited the places. I lost sleep reading both of the books. The characters are "bigger than life";their goodness & love grasps you by the heartstrings. The author is busy researching her 3rd book about a Native American Indian. I send her best wishes, but I need another book about this family in the South; maybe the family or families after the Emancipation Proclamation. You need to read both books in #1 & #2 order. Read this book; the characters will become part of your life. quepaso1943, San Marcos,TXVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
