This book tells the story not of people but of a song. It tells the story of this song by showing how the song was passed on from generation to generation in families. No particular family or name is used because it is not about one family, but a whole group of people who found inspiration and hope its words. Over 100 years later, it was sung out in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement. This story shows how something like a song can inspire hope and courage across generations.
I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars. It shows the importance of tradition and learning from generations before you. I love how the author used the stories of average families so that the reader can see themselves in the book.
