A lyrical and spellbinding story of love, loss, and war from a
standout new voice in fiction. Katy Simpson Smith has already been
acclaimed as an 'heir apparent to to Michael Ondaatje and Marilynne
Robinson' North Carolina, 1793. When nine-year-old Tab catches
yellow fever, her father John steals her onto a boat, hoping the
sea air will cure his only child. For comfort, he tells Tab stories
about her mother Helen, who died in childbirth. Two decades
earlier, Helen is given a slave girl for her tenth birthday. Moll's
arrival is meant to teach Helen discipline but soon the girls are
close confidantes, until the arrival of John, a pirate turned
soldier. And as the town is threatened in the dying embers of the
Revolution, Helen must decide between a life of security on the
family plantation and a sea adventure with the man she loves.

Set in a small coastal town in North Carolina during the waning
years of the American Revolution, this incandescent debut novel
follows three generations of family--fathers and daughters, mother
and son, master and slave, characters who yearn for redemption
amidst a heady brew of war, kidnapping, slavery, and love.
Drawn to the ocean, ten-year-old Tabitha wanders the marshes of
her small coastal village and listens to her father's stories about
his pirate voyages and the mother she never knew. Since the loss of
his wife Helen, John has remained land-bound for their daughter,
but when Tab contracts yellow fever, he turns to the sea once more.
Desperate to save his daughter, he takes her aboard a sloop bound
for Bermuda, hoping the salt air will heal her.
Years before, Helen herself was raised by a widowed father. Asa,
the devout owner of a small plantation, gives his daughter a young
slave named Moll for her tenth birthday. Left largely on their own,
Helen and Moll develop a close but uneasy companionship. Helen
gradually takes over the running of the plantation as the girls
grow up, but when she meets John, the pirate turned Continental
soldier, she flouts convention and her father's wishes by falling
in love. Moll, meanwhile, is forced into marriage with a stranger.
Her only solace is her son, Davy, whom she will protect with a
passion that defies the bounds of slavery.
In this elegant, evocative, and haunting debut, Katy Simpson
Smith captures the singular love between parent and child, the
devastation of love lost, and the lonely paths we travel in the
name of renewal.
White, black, and Native American women in the early South often
viewed motherhood as a composite of roles, ranging from teacher and
nurse to farmer and politician. Within a multicultural landscape,
mothers drew advice and consolation from female networks, broader
intellec-tual currents, and an understanding of their own
multifaceted identities to devise their own standards for child
rearing. In this way, by con-structing, interpreting, and defending
their roles as parents, women in the South maintained a certain
degree of control over their own and their children's lives.
Focusing on Virginia and the Carolinas from 1750 to 1835, Katy
Simpson Smith's widely praised study examines these maternal
practices to reveal the ways in which diverse groups of women
struggled to create empowered identities in the early South. We
Have Raised All of You contributes to a wide variety of historical
conversations by affirming the necessity of multicultural- not
simply bi-racial- studies of the American South. Its equally
weighted analysis of white, black, and Native American women sets
it distinctly apart from other work. Smith shows that while women
from different backgrounds shared similar experiences within the
trajectory of motherhood, no universal model holds up under
scrutiny. Most importantly, this book suggests that parenthood
provided women with some power within their often-circumscribed
lives. Alternately restricted, oppressed, belittled, and enslaved,
women sought to embrace an identity that would give them some sense
of self-respect and self-worth. The rich and varied roles that
mothers inherited, Smith shows, afforded women this empowering
identity. This paperback edition includes a new preface by Smith
that examines the power of storytelling, and the ways in which we
think and talk about the past. No one, she suggests, is better
suited to tell our collective story than our mothers.
