This child's gonna live

"Set in a fishing village on Maryland's Eastern Shore in the early 1930s, This Child's Gonna Live tells the story of Mariah Upshur, the wife of a poor oysterman, and her struggles to keep her land and family together amidst the harsh realities of rural African American life. Described by the Philadelphia Inquirer as having a "sharp, idiomatic rhythm that is reminiscent of the work of Zora Neale Hurston," Wright's eloquent, heartbreaking novel is an unsurpassed testament to human endurance in the face of racism, poverty, and despair."--Jacket.
