"The author of the New York Times bestseller and beloved book club favorite The Kitchen House continues the story of Jamie Pyke, son of both a slave and master of Tall Oakes, whose deadly secret compels him to take a treacherous journey through the Underground Railroad. Published in 2010, The Kitchen House became a grassroots bestseller. Fans connected so deeply to the book's characters that the author, Kathleen Grissom, found herself being asked over and over "what happens next?" The wait is finally over. This new, stand-alone novel opens in 1830, and Jamie, who fled from the Virginian plantation he once called home, is passing in Philadelphia society as a wealthy white silversmith. After many years of striving, Jamie has achieved acclaim and security, only to discover that his aristocratic lover Caroline is pregnant. Before he can reveal his real identity to her, he learns that his beloved servant Pan has been captured and sold into slavery in the South. Pan's father, to whom Jamie owes a great debt, pleads for Jamie's help, and Jamie agrees, knowing the journey will take him perilously close to Tall Oakes and the ruthless slave hunter who is still searching for him. Meanwhile, Caroline's father learns and exposes Jamie's secret, and Jamie loses his home, his business, and finally Caroline. Heartbroken and with nothing to lose, Jamie embarks on a trip to a North Carolina plantation where Pan is being held with a former Tall Oakes slave named Sukey, who is intent on getting Pan to the Underground Railroad. Soon the three of them are running through the Great Dismal Swamp, the notoriously deadly hiding place for escaped slaves. Though they have help from those in the Underground Railroad, not all of them will make it out alive"--… (lisätietoja)

Kathleen Grissom's first novel, The Kitchen House is probably my all-time favorite book, and I've been looking forward to reading Glory Over Everything. As with TKH, this "sequel" of sorts held my interest from page one.

I purposely saved this treasured book to read on a trip to New Orleans, as a vacation treat to myself. It held special interest as I toured plantations in that area, seeing how slaves lived in the same time period as Kathleen's novel.

We follow Jamie's story, a young character from TKH, as he takes us along on his journey after fleeing Tall Oakes plantation... his home as a "white person" until the discovery his real mother is a black slave at the plantation.

The story takes place for the most part in 1830, but has flashback chapters from 1808 and on as we get a glimpse of how Jamie's life ended up the way it did. This book has other wonderful characters who will melt your heart... Pan, a young black boy taken as a slave, Sukey, a slave we met in TKHnovel, and many others that will pull you right into their story.

Glory Over Everything, as with The Kitchen House, is not a lighthearted story. It is a story of grit, perseverance, heart, love of mankind... and cruel hatred of mankind. It is another story that will stay with you long after you turn the last page!

I loved the sequel even more than The Kitchen House. James, Pan, Robert, Addy, and the return of Sukie, all wrung my heart. ( )

Glory over Everything- Beyond The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom Review:

Glory over Everything by Kathleen Grissom is about a biracial man who is passing off as white in the Northeast of the United States of America after he commits a horrible crime and flees. It details his journey towards acceptance of himself and of his past and finding his place in life regardless of the forces that are against him.

What I liked about Jaime Pyke (Burton) is that he is honest and real but guarded with the information he shares with people.

The book taught me that no matter what my racial background is accepting myself for who I am and what I am is the most important thing I could ever do and to love myself for the unique creation I am. And loving others for who they are and what they are and giving them space and time to heal and be independent and interdependent in the relationships I have with them and them with me. ( )

An amazing follow up to The Kitchen House. This story follows Jamie (now James) after he has established himself as a white man and the lengths he goes to to keep his word. If you loved The Kitchen House then this book is a must read. ( )

This was a difficult book to read at times, but I enjoyed it. The end seemed a little incredible, but well worth reading. ( )
