Hush Now, Baby is the story of how a little white girl climbed out of an uneasy childhood in the segregated Southon the backbone of a black woman who loved her unabashedly. A host of AfricanAmerican women permeated Southern families. One of those stalwart women was Eva Aiken, a central figure in the authors life from her birthuntil Eva staged a sitin at the girls wedding.The story captures the glorious early years of the Lowcountry South Carolina family then graphically depicts its unraveling. Eva holds them together. The family and the countrys parallel struggles converge. The author lives in bubblewrap until Civil Rights issues escalate. This story is told without pathos and with graceful restraintthe Southern way.Angelas prose plunges us back in time when a generation of white children were raised by the calloused hands of slaves who, despite being freed by Lincoln, remained chained to a stubborn way of life. Instead of killing us in our sleep, they became our guardian angels, for reasons still mysteriously misunderstood. Ken Burger, author of Swallow Savannah, Sister Santee, Salkehatchie Soup, and Baptized in Sweet Tea.
