It is finely stitched, tightly constructed, and rooted in cultural authenticity.\"*\nWhy had Brother Rush come to her, with his dark secrets from a long-ago past? What was the purpose of their strange, haunting journeys back into her own childhood?\nWas it to help Dab, her older brother, who sometimes took more care and love than Tree had to give? Was it for her mother, M'Vy, who loved them the best she knew how but wasn't home enough to ease the terrible longing?\nWhatever secrets Brother Rush's whispered message held, Tree knew she must follow. She must follow Brother Rush through the magic mirror, and find out the truth. About all of them.\nKatherine Paterson, reviewing this powerful novel in The New York Times, commented: \"Just read the first page, just the first paragraph, of Sweet Whispers, Brother Rush. Then stop—if you can. The last time a first paragraph chilled my spine like this one, I was sixteen years old, hunched over a copy of Rebecca.\"\n*Geraldine Wilson in Interracial Books for Children Bulletin\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0380651939\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0380651939.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hamilton, Virginia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is a well used but readable copy.
