Description:
Raised
in privilege by her Caucasian mother and African American father, Esther
DuMont encounters tragedy and loss at an early age. Steeled against this
past, Esther makes her way through the world encountering prejudice and
facing challenges to her morality, her sense of belonging and her faith.
Using language to paint the stunning scenery
of Lake Superior’s Apostle Islands, the gritty urban landscape of the
Twin Cities and the rolling farmland of Central Iowa, Munger has created
a tightly drawn contemporary fable. |
