"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

"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

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. Less
