LIKE TREES, WALKING is my Featured “Book of Color” Pick of the Day by Ravi Howard. Haunting and disturbing but touching and profound. A novel like this is necessary for Americans of all colors to remind ourselves how far we have come as a nation and how far we need to go.
Based on a true story, Like Trees, Walking exposes the repercussions of a true lynching that took place on March 21, 1981 in Mobile, Alabama. Award-winning, debut, Black American novelist, Ravi Howard has started his career out with a resounding bang. The novel has received extraordinary reviews from The Boston Globe, Booklist and the Washington Post. It also has just received the Ernest J. Gaines Award.
