"ABSORBING...COMPELLING...HIGHLY SATISFYING."--San Francisco Chronicle"TRULY ENGAGING...Campbell has a storyteller's ear for dialogue and the visual sense of painting a picture and a place....There's a steam that keeps the story moving as the characters, and later their children, wrestle through racial, personal and cultural crisis."--Los Angeles Times Book Review"REMARKABLE...POWERFUL."--Time"YOUR BLUES AIN'T LIKE MINE is rich, lush fiction set in rural Mississippi beginning in the mid-'50s. It is also a haunting reality flowing through Anywhere, U.S.A., in the '90s....There's love, rage and hatred, winning and losing, honor, abuse; in other words, humanity....Campbell now deserves recognition as the best of storytellers. Her writing sings."--The Indianapolis News"EXTRAORDINDARY."--The Seattle Times"A COMPELLING NARRATIVE...Campbell is a master when it comes to telling a story."--Entertainment WeeklyYOUR BLUES AIN'T LIKE MINE won the NAACP Image Award for Best Literary Work of Fiction

"Wowie Zowie, this one was one heck of a read. There were times were it was just hard to read, seeing both perspectives during this time period is a lot. There were a few graphic scenes so I’d take that into account before reading. Some of it was oddly sexual?? But this was an amazing book I’m glad I read it!"
