Acerca de esta escucha
"Hello Eliza. Nice to meet ya.”
He smiled and all she could do was grin. The words were stuck in her throat like old peanut butter. Jeezus, he was soooo handsome! And so tall!
A unique accomplishment, this is a history never told. It is the story of two generations of African American women. Eliza Betts was born in 1860, her daughter Hattie in 1890. The saga is based upon the actual, meticulously researched history of both women. Author Barbara Gathers is Hattie’s granddaughter.
Life in Virginia and North Carolina after the end of enslavement was toilsome for those emancipated and living with the question, “What does freedom mean?” This is the story of two women who faced those challenges with boldness, personal stamina, and an intense devotion to their loved ones.

One wrong move can undercut your message. Believe it or not, our bodies speak louder than our words. Postures, gestures, and expressions convey reams of information - and often not what you'd expect. A smile, for example, is usually considered welcoming. But crook one corner of your mouth higher, and you project superiority, subconsciously chasing other people away. Without Saying a Word explains how even the subtlest motions have meaning.

What a wonderful multigenerational story!
The story was filled with hardship and loss along with triumphs and successes. Every generation faired better than the one before. Being black made the successes even harder. I enjoyed the book from beginning to end. It was a well told story!

This is an amazing book but.........
Great story, at times I was tight there at the birth of each baby... I cheered with them and cried with them....but the narrator could not control the noises that came when she swallowed her saliva )not sure what that was) I cringed with each swallow.
