Just Read It: Reviews Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates

Posted September 1, 2021

With guests Susan Stoner and William Stack, Caroline Miller discusses The Water Dancer. Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram was robbed of all memory of her—but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. This brush with death births an urgency in Hiram and a daring scheme: to escape from the only home he’s ever known.
