From Whence They Came - The Genealogical History of an African-American Family (Paperback)

In From Whence They Came, Ms. Allen documents the struggles and triumphs of eight generations of her family, beginning with her great-great-great-grandmother Eular, a slave woman on a plantation in Virginia. This story, that begins with Eularas trek south to find her lost children, weaves historical events into the actual lives of the Burdette family, and it captures the familyas unwavering commitment to each new generation of Burdettes. As you embark on this journey with Eular, you will find yourself encouraged and emboldened by her audacity, determination, and love for her lost daughters. When you read this factual account, it may seem somewhat familiar to you, especially if you are of African descent. It is an extraordinary story, and it could very well be your story, a story of survival, endurance and perpetual hope!
