"A searing metaphorical X-ray of a people battling to find space where they can become themselves... I am deeply grateful for McFeely's magnificent effort of thought, empathy, scholarship and imagination." -- Roger Wilkins - Los Angeles Times Book Review "Raising historical writing to the level of art, McFeely tells with genuine respect an urgent and important story." -- Benjamin Griffith - Atlanta Journal-Constitution "The story of Sapelo's past is both a wonderful and a terrible one and McFeely tells it splendidly... It is a noble story. It warms the heart. We learn from it another possibility of being human." -- Bill Holm - Hungry Mind Review "As an idiosyncratic attempt to capture something of what it has been like to be an American, and to be human, over the last two centuries, Sapelo's People is a marvelous text." -- Melissa Fay Greene - Boston Globe
