Описание книги

Life and legends of Eugene Jacques Bullard, the first black American military aviator… from his childhood to WWI hero, 47 chapters of his life from the time he ran away from home, alone at the age of eight to find freedom and equality in France. This is based on a true life. It is a series of fictional interviews with a man whom I never met.

Отрывок из книги

To Shirley –

With you, anything is possible

.....

With God. My mother died during the night. I rushed to my parents’ room and threw myself across her body. Oh, how I cried. The heartache penetrated my entire body. Pain so bad I couldn’t breathe. It hurt so. I wailed, screamed, pleaded and begged, “God, please give her back. We need her, we love her, I promise I’ll be good.” As I lay there, a shadow crossed the bed. I looked up at a figure of a man with the same dark eyes and skin as hers. He stood, his strong hands on my small shoulder, chanting and muttering words and sounds I had never heard, strange yet soothing sounds. When he finished, he lifted me up, hugged me to his breast and said, “She is at peace. Be strong, for you now carry her spirit.” He put me down saying

“You will not see me again; walk tall, my grandson.”
