"After more than forty years, Lucy Daniels, author of the
prize-winning "Caleb, My Son," returns with a new novel, "The Eyes
of the Father," with the same vigor and passion but with a honed
wisdom and wealth of insight. Daniels is a remarkably gifted writer
who sings a tremblingly beautiful song." --Dannye Romine Powell,
author of "Parting the Curtains: Interviews with Southern Writers"
"As a black woman artist who deals with race and identity in my
paintings, I resonated with the inner conflicts of Lucy Daniels'
beautifully drawn characters in "The Eyes of the Father.""
--Beverly McIver, Artist
"Simple clarity lit onto layers of complex emotions are the
brushstrokes by which Lucy Daniels paints her tale of a South never
rid of its history. "The Eyes of the Father" sings to a soulful
rhythm of sustenance in the battle between tradition and its
invisible enemy, indifference." --Martin Tucker, Writer/Editor
As a small child in Los Angeles, blue-eyed, red-haired,
black-skinned Lily Price, daughter of a flamboyant white musician
and a beautiful black singer, glories in the delight her father
shows for her and her strikingly "special" appearance. But when
tragedy brings Lily and her mother back east to the rigidly
conservative home of her fundamentalist minister grandfather in
Millboro, North Carolina, "special" is viewed as "freak." Lily's
emotional response to this loss is only one of several with which
this story demonstrates the power the past wields over the
present.
