By: Apex Reviews Loni & Elvis Slaughter, Sr. ISBN: 9780979146121 Slaughter & Associates Reviewed By Dominique Sessons Official Apex Reviews Rating: 5 Stars When the elderly Percy is given the bad news of a supposedly fatal diagnosis, it motivates him to reunite with a long-lost brother whom he hasn’t seen or heard from in more than 50 years. With the assistance of his nephew, Percy embarks on a trek to Mississippi, whose cotton fields served as the backdrop for the last time he and his brother ever laid eyes on one another. Upon arriving in the “New South,” Percy is shocked to discover all the cultural and political changes that have taken place over the previous half century, and he’s ultimately heartened to learn that the forces that led to his estrangement from his kin no longer wield the same divisive power they once did. Brief, yet powerful, Uncle Percy’s Blessing is an engaging, heartwarming read. Co-authored by the father and daughter team of Loni and Elvis Slaughter, Sr., their moving account of Uncle Percy’s redemptive sojourn to the land of his youth takes readers on a vicarious trip through time, reminding us all of the often devastating impact of a brutal, unjust era – thankfully – long gone. The Slaughters’ narrative also highlights the undying, transformative power of love, chronicling the unexpected spiritual and emotional evolution that Percy undergoes upon learning that times truly do change – as people do – and that hope remains a highly attainable goal for which we all should continue to strive. Powerfully captivating, Uncle Percy’s Blessing is an eye-opening tale of innocence lost and regained under the most surprising of circumstances. A strong reminder to always appreciate everything and everyone that you cherish in life. # # # Apex Reviews is a seasoned team of authors and editors with a combined total of over 75 years' experience in the publishing industry.
