"The Grimkes is family history at its finest. Kerri Greenidge's rich historical text and deeply researched genealogy reads like a novel. For the first time, readers will gain both a wide and deep portrait of this complicated family in black and white. . . . In many ways, the Grimkes represent the story of America: the good, the bad, and the forgotten." -Kellie Carter Jackson, author of Force and Freedom "Kerri Greenidge beautifully guides us through the thorny thicket of early America's most renowned interracial family, the Grimkes. . . . Greenidge bravely asks, who is family in a world fractured by race and racism? For the Grimkes, her probing research reveals, the answer is a moving tale of how, between the descendants of the enslaved and enslavers, the ties that bind became frayed." -Martha S. Jones, author of Vanguard "Kerri Greenidge has written a book remarkable for its deft storytelling; its intelligent interweaving of themes such as slavery and abolitionism, race and gender, family and high society; and its definitive painting of an extraordinary American family across multiple generations." -Gene Andrew Jarrett, author of Paul Laurence Dunbar "In The Grimkes, Kerri Greenidge asks, what do we inherit from those who came before us? This book is a story of the inspiration, burden, as well as trauma that can be passed, generation to generation, through a family name and its legacy. Beautifully written and narrated, The Grimkes moves from the legacy of one interracial family to what we all inherit as citizens of this complicated nation." -LaKisha Michelle Simmons, author of Crescent City Girls
