Description: A spare and beautiful meditation on love and loss, this novel follows the life of Sadie, the abandoned wife of the escaped slave Jim from Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."
Review Quotes: "Here, finally, is the Jim we can only glimpse between hijinks and humiliations in Huck Finn--a man who's clever and tender, romantic and tragic. And there's just no escaping his wife's voice. I read some chapters without blinking."--The Christian Science Monitor
"A wonderful first-person narrative . . . both a love story and a chronicle of a brutal time in American history."--Chicago Tribune "My Jim is a compelling, eloquently written novel that can stand on its own merits beside the great works that inspired it."--San Francisco Chronicle "Rawles's affecting spin-off of Twain's classic gives the resilient Sadie Watson a harrowing story and a powerful voice to tell it."--Entertainment Weekly
