It has to benefit an audiobook to have its narrator so embedded in its production. While they worked together, actor Blair Underwood asked screenwriter Joe McClean if he had a novel in him. The result is the two-volume story of the Carter brothers, who migrated from the South to Detroit in the early decades of the 20th century. Since Underwood became involved with these characters early on, it's little wonder that he brings them to life so effectively. The novel's cast is so sprawling that a Carter family tree is provided in pdf form. Underwood animates the colorful neighborhoods of Black Bottom and Paradise Valley, which serve as the story's backdrop. His efforts produce an exciting audiobook that blends historical fiction and well-developed characters. D.E.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2025]
