The book Grandma's Hands: A Portrait in Time was inspired by the life of Rachel Bryant's paternal grandmother (whose parents were slaves) as well as her own observations of blatant discriminatory and degrading practices inflicted upon those once thought to be inferior. This beautifully written book, consisting of twenty poems mainly reflecting life as it was in America's Jim Crow South, takes the reader on a powerful journey from slavery to present-day society. Through her unique and eloquent style, Rachel Bryant manages to capture and convey the thoughts and feelings of characters so cleverly portrayed throughout this provocative and awe-inspiring book. While the majority of poems were written for mature audiences, readers will find several poems that are appropriate for all.
