The Slaves Have Names: Ancestors of My Home
Andi Cumbo-Floyd is a writer, editor, and writing teacher who grew up on the Bremo Plantations. She is also the author of God's Whisper Manifesto: The Makings of a Dream. She and her husband live on God's Whisper Farm at the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. You can find her at www.andilit.com. She wrote this book to learn more about the people who built her home, the people who founded that place, the people often forgotten when we talk about majestic plantation homes and American history.  She wrote this book to learn how slavery has affected her family and the United States as a whole. But most of all, she wrote this book so she could know the names of the people who walked this land before her and so that she could share them with other people, particularly their descendants.
