AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"The stories of his black family...are stark, tender and moving in their honesty, their ability to show both ambivalence and pain. When Henry's parents' closely guarded secret is revealed...the tale is as powerful as it is painful to read....PEARL'S SECRET is more than a genealogical mystery; it is a memoir, a family history, and the story of one man trying to make a little more sense of the racial landscape we all find ourselves in. In its attempt to record two related families' journey's since slavery, and to reach a deeper understanding of America itself, the book is victorious.Henry, Neil is the author of 'Pearl's Secret A Black Man's Search for His White Family' with ISBN 9780520222571 and ISBN 0520222571.
