Reviews"When I tell you about the strength of our elders, our views on everything from birth to death and the hereafter, and how I came to fear for my people, I am telling you about who we were and are as a people. I want to hold up our customs and traditions for you to see one at a time, as if each is a bright piece of fabric that I will stitch into a warm Geechee quilt you can look at and say, 'Those Geechee people really did have a different way of living and believing over there.' "I am a storyteller and my tale of a people so private our story has never been told before. I tell it now for my people, in hopes it will create a new beginning on this island, a shining dayclean, and for people everywhere: You can survive if you believe in yourself and your culture. "This is how I remember it. Lean back and listen." -- From God, Dr. Buzzard, and the Bolito Man
