Sins of the Mother
Nobel laureate Toni Morrison is one of the gods who walk among us. A righteous, fearless teller of necessary truths, Morrison forces us to experience the realities of black lives on the soul level. In her sensually written and commanding new novel, God Help the Child, Morrison excavates the legacy of childhood trauma-how the burdens and shame heaped on us can never be lifted, only suppressed. Billie Holiday sang, "God bless the child that's got his own." Morrison's coda: God help the children and those born unto them.
