Paperback. Condizione: Fair. National Book Award Finalist * Newbery Honor Book * Coretta Scott King Award Winner This towering classic from the esteemed author Virginia Hamilton "is like a thoughtfully designed African American quilt. It is finely stitched, tightly constructed, and rooted in cultural authenticity."* Why had Brother Rush come to her, with his dark secrets from a long-ago past? What was the purpose of their strange, haunting journeys back into her own childhood? Was it to help Dab, her older brother, who sometimes took more care and love than Tree had to give?
