More Critical Praise for Bernice L. McFadden
for The Warmest December
“Riveting. The Warmest December so nicely avoids the sentimentality that swirls around the subject matter. I am as impressed by its structural strength as by the searing and expertly imagined scenes.”
—Toni Morrison
“Ms. McFadden is one of those rare talents who can keep a reader enthralled regardless of the topic … This is a story that cuts across all race and social strata in its need to be told.”
—Dallas Morning News
“Bernice L. McFadden has proven that she knows how to tell a story with insight and clarity … McFadden’s prose is lyrical.”
—USA Today
“McFadden’s voice remains refreshingly free of clichés and it’s easy to admire her fearless way with metaphor.”
—Washington Post
for This Bitter Earth
“This Bitter Earth tells a brutal tale of salvation and adds to it a satisfying subplot of revenge. McFadden’s sensuous prose and folk wisdom conjure a memorable character with complexity and grace.”
—People
“This Bitter Earth resonates with the mythic patterns of an epic poem, complete with lyrical language and an omniscient narrator.”
—Houston Chronicle
This is a work of fiction. All names, characters, places, and incidents are a product of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to real events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

While this work is built on the foundations of historical events, in many instances I have knowingly altered facts and dates to suit the purpose of the story.
