The Golden Hour

Black Issues Book Review, March-April, 2005 by Brittiany McCree

The Golden Hour by Maiya Williams Amulet Books, March 2004 $16.95, ISBN 0-810-94823-0

In The Golden Hour, readers are spun through a delightful tale of a young family's journey to cope with their mother's death. The story ingeniously blends historical realism, adventures in time travel and the exploration of the ways in which young people deal with trauma. I especially enjoyed the book because it successfully portrays real-life emotional transitions that allow the reader to connect with the characters on more complex levels

I would recommend The Golden Hour for both recreational reading and also as a tool to help in dealing with the death of a family member. This book is written intelligently and put together with sophistication.
