#GOODBOOKS – Newly featured in Charleston Good’s Bookshop

Payne-Ful Business: Charleston’s Journey to Truth
Margaret Seidler (Author) John W. Jones (Illustrator)

““It is rare and good nws when a family that helped to perpetrate the slave trade tries to measure, and own, the human ruin that it spread. Margaret Seidler seeks a personal reckoning in her book, whose story joins a scarce dialogue and aims to deliver a modicum of justice.” Edward Ball, author of SLAVES IN THE FAMILY and LIFE OF A KLANSMAN”
