Rich in language and character observation. The character's are brought to life seemingly effortlessly." -The Cleveland Plain Dealer "Charming. Sanders writes with wit and authority in this unusual gem of a love story." -Chicago Tribune "A gentle, wise, emotionally satisfying winner. In lean but rich prose, characters come to life against a backdrop of peach orchards, roadside produce stands and languid summer afternoons." -The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Warmly engrossing. Clover is very much the genuine item." -The New York Times Book Review "Sanders sews these family scenes together like a fine quilt maker, delicately fashioning scenes that include distant relatives and old friends with all their peculiarities and local customs." -The Washington Post Book World "A moving portrait of the extended black family in a rural setting. The author has staked out an impressive new territory here, replete with peach farmers, textile workers, drunks and crazy people, with the newly middle class as well as the terminally poor.
Clover, a 10-year-old black girl from a small town in South Carolina, chronicles her bewildering but gradually deepening relationship with her white stepmother following her father's tragic death only hours after the marriage.
