In prose poetry and alternating voices, Marlene Carvell weaves a heartbreakingly beautiful story based on the real-life experiences of Native American children. Mattie and Sarah are two Mohawk sisters who are sent to an off-reservation school after the death of their mother. Subject to intimidation and corporal punishment, with little hope of contact with their father, the girls are taught menial tasks to prepare them for life as domestics. How Mattie and Sarah protect their culture, memories of their family life, and their love for each other makes for a powerful, unforgettable historical novel.

"Coiled grass baskets are icons of Gullah culture. From their roots in Africa through their evolution on Lowcountry rice plantations to their modern recognition as art, they carry centuries of African American and South Carolina history. Fanner baskets were essential for rice processing, and baskets were sold between plantations as early as 1774; after emancipation, Black families used coiled baskets in their homes and to transport vegetables to market; in the early twentieth century, coinciding with the Arts and Crafts movement, students at the Penn School on St. Helena Island, made baskets to sell in Charleston and as far off as Boston. By the end of the last century, the basketmaking tradition was centered in Mt. Pleasant and focused on art baskets produced for sale. The first full-scale description of the history of this folk art, Row upon Row remains a classic in the field. Today the artform continues to evolve in response to the changing consumer market, availability of materials, economic opportunities, and most recently, increased traffic near the traditional highway basket stands. This new edition of the book features an additional essay by the author, which brings the narrative into the twenty-first century, featuring artists including MacArthur Fellowship receipient Mary Jackson and Antwon Ford and describing current challenges to the survival of the time-honored tradition. As globalization transforms our world, the sweetgrass basket in all its iterations retains its power as a local symbol of individual identity and cultural distinction. Making baskets is a meditative act, a form of labor and a collective process that strengthens families and links generations. While each sewer pursues her or his art out of personal necessity, all feel a shared sense of guardianship of the region, and a debt to a tradition sanctioned by their ancestors"--

Essie Mae Laveau Jenkins is a 78-year-old sweetgrass basket weaver who sits on the side of Hwy. 17 in the company of her dead husband, Daddy Jim. Inspired by her Auntie Leona, Essie Mae finally discovers her calling in life and weaves powerful "love baskets," praying fervently over them to affect the lives of those who visit her roadside stand. When she's faced with losing her home and her stand and being put in a nursing home, Daddy Jim talks her into coming on up to Heaven to meet sweet Jesus-something she's always wanted to do. Once there, she reunites with Gullahs and African ancestors; but soon, her heavenly peace is disrupted, for she still has work to do. Now Essie Mae, who once felt powerless and invisible, must find the strength within her to keep her South Carolina family from falling apart.
