"By way of an unassuming yet arrow-sharp prose, Ms. Brice invites her readers to consider what role does or should race play in identity and in whom one chooses to love, and what constitutes family. She also forces a look at the many faces of religion and spirituality." Fresh Fiction.com "It is one of those books that you will not want to put down until you reach the last page." Fredericksburg, VA Freelance Star "...the plot clips along at a summer-reading pace...a great beach read." New West "compelling and difficult to put down." - Booklist Online "Children of the Waters is the latest engaging offering by Carleen Brice, who writes with aplomb about love, mixed race and the importance of family in this late-June release." AOL Black Voices Book Shelf "I was exhausted and singing the blues the hour I began Carleen Brice's new novel, Children of the Waters. Five hours later, I'd finished this fresh, free-rein novel about mothers' secrets and children's sorrows and was shouting 'Hurray!'" - Jacquelyn Mitchard author, The Deep End of the Ocean “In Children of the Waters, Carleen Brice manages to explore the difficult, messy and unpleasant details of life with both humor and wisdom. The parallel journeys of sisters, Trish and Billie, will resonate with everyone and anyone who has questioned their identity and place in this world. Once again, Carleen Brice has crafted a thoroughly enjoyable novel that gets at the heart of the human experience." – Lori Tharps, author of Kinky Gazpacho "In Children of the Waters, Carleen Brice highlights the effects of America's complicated relationship with race and identity on three generations of two families in a clear and insightful depiction of what it means to be American at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Brice knows how far we have come and how far there is left to go, and in Children of the Waters she deflty lays it all out for the reader to see." - Matthew Aaron Goodman, author of Hold Love Strong "In Children of the Waters, Carleen Brice deftly explores issues of family, identity, and race with a wonderful abundance of humor, forgiveness, and grace. This moving story of two sisters separated by prejudice will open minds and touch hearts." - Meg Waite Clayton, author of The Wednesday Sisters |
