Only the living can.' Effie Jones, a former slave who escaped to the Union side as a child, knows the truth of her words. Taken in by an army surgeon and his wife during the War, she learned to read and write, to tolerate the sight of blood and broken bodies-and to forget what is too painful to bear. Now a young freedwoman, she has returned south to New Orleans and earns her living as an embalmer, her steady hand and skillful incisions compensating for her white employer's shortcomings. Tall and serious, Effie keeps her distance from the other girls in her boarding house, holding tight to the satisfaction she finds in her work. But despite her reticence, two encounters with a charismatic state legislator named Samson Greene, and a beautiful young Creole, Adeline-introduce her to new worlds of protests and activism, of soirees and social ambition. Effie decides to seek out the past she has blocked from her memory and try to trace her kin. 648 7 $a 1865-1877 $2 fast 650 0 $a African American women political activists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Undertakers and undertaking $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Recovered memory $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Reconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) $z New Orleans $z New Orleans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Race relations. 651 0 $a New Orleans (La.) $x Race relations $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New Orleans (La.) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Louisiana $z New Orleans. 651 7 $a United States. 655 0 $a Audiobooks. 655 0 $a Bildungsromans. 655 0 $a Fiction. 655 0 $a Historical fiction. 655 0 $a History. 700 1 $a Johnson, Allyson, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio. 710 2 $a Findaway World, LLC. 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012647.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1CC5DCC68C411EE82CCA71150ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
