Here's what Sue Monk Kidd has to say about The Keepers of Love: "The Keepers of Love is a moving work of immense social consciousness and spiritual power written by a very gifted writer. What an amazing book this will be! While China Galland’s book is part pilgrimage, part liberation theology, and part exposé ultimately it is a moving story of community and redemption. Racial injustice continues to be a wound in American life that calls out for particular and concrete narratives of healing. This book is just such a narrative, but an especially evocative one. Galland captures the struggle to reclaim one small cemetery in Texas with such engrossing drama and personal detail that the story becomes something larger still– a universal struggle to reclaim the ground of Deep Compassion that lies untended in the human heart. I love Galland’s raging empathy for those who are disenfranchised and suffer injustice. She is, in her own way, like the Black Madonna she has written about‑‑ a mother of the excluded." Sue Monk Kidd is the Author of the best-selling novels The Secret Life of Bees and The Mermaid’s Chair |
