To Handcuff Lightning

by Sharon Hoskins

Overview

It's not history when you're still living it. Between the years 1940-1970, more than five million African-Americans left the South. Edward and Algie Clover of Dublin, Georgia, along with their three daughters and Algie's mother, joined that great migration. Arriving in Dayton, Ohio just before the decade that changed civil wrongs into civil rights, they would witness history, but never allow it to get in the way of living. "To Handcuff Lightning" is the first book in the Clover Family Saga.

Editorial Reviews

A Mother's Strength. I really enjoyed this book. I felt like I was in Dayton, Ohio. The characters are believable with funny moments, drama, and a family secret. To Handcuff Lightning will have a sequel and I'm filled with anticipation.

I am not black but I have a family which consists of various unique personalities, most of whom clashes with each other but are bonded together with the glue of love and possessiveness which comes from sharing blood. I have shared this book, and the sequel which explains why Honey shot Bo, with some of my black friends who also loved the book and understood it completely, seeing themselves and their families on every page as did I. I can't wait for KD Hoskin's next book.
