""In no way a typical history, Hayes and Simon . . . capture the angst, anger, other emotions, and insert profound quandaries Wakefield experienced, an unusual and touching take on a great life, the human history poetry gives to all our days. Each page fulfills its promise and tastes like more."" -Mona Lisa Saloy, Louisiana poet laureate 2021-2023, Louisiana folklife commissioner, Conrad N. Hilton endowed professor of English, Dillard University ""This iconic, unique, and heroic woman has been rescued from the depth of the unknown. Kudos to Phebe Hayes and Margaret Simon for providing us with a masterful, excellent and a fantastic story of triumph, tragedy, and achievement."" -Charles Vincent, Founder/Director of Mwalimu Institute, Former Professor of History, Southern University and A & M College ""This new biography of Emma Wakefield-Paillet defies classification. Its prose offers the reader history, its poetry an exploration of characters' feelings. . . . Such riches will attract readers of many interests and backgrounds, and they are not likely to be disappointed."" -Ann B. Dobie ""Young imaginations shall become awakened with creative storytelling employed by Dr. Phebe Hayes's narrative and Ms. Margaret Simon's poetry. . . . This book opens the floodgate of solid history combined with literature's poetic spark."" -Eva Semien Baham, PhD, Assistant Professor of History, Dillard University
