    LOVE IN THE DRIEST årstid A Family Memoir

    A war reporter inured to violence and misery, Tucker is still overwhelmed by the plight of abandoned children in Zimbabwe, where he is temporarily living. He and his African-American wife, Vita, decide to adopt Chipo, a sickly baby girl, but the local bureaucracy objects because they are foreigners. Throw in Tucker's wild travel schedule, political events in Zimbabwe, horrors in the Congo and Rwanda, and a bit of Tucker's Mississippi white family history--and you won't want to miss a word, especially with Michael Kramer reading. Through a veneer of reportorial objectivity, you hear frustration, compassion, tenderness, and determination. Long African names roll easily off his tongue. A beautiful tale, sensitively read. J.B.G.

    Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Viking for the opportunity to read and review this book. This is the first book I have read by Neely Tucker and inom look forward to more that he has. I enjoy reading books in and around Washington DC as I have lived in this area most of my life.

    This book had a very interesting story line and a few twists and turns along the way. Billy Ellison is gay and his family is very well known throughout the DC area. His family wants him to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lawyer, but this

    A mixed-race woman’s long quest to prove her Native American ancestry

Mary was Muscogee Creek, and John said he had Cherokee blood; a grandfather received a land allotment for Native Americans. But Darnella’s Indian heritage was later disputed.

    When Darnella Davis was a shy, “sandy-colored and sandy-haired” teenager growing up in Detroit in the 1960s, she knew she was “part Indian.” It wasn’t entirely clear what that meant. In that era of Motown, the civil rights movement and the devastating 1967 riot/rebellion that wrecked that city, she knew that her Oklahoma-based family was not culturally kin to the black neighbors who’d fled sharecropping and the Deep South. As a standout arts student at the city’s premier (and racially mixed) high school, Cass Te
