Paul-Edward is born a slave to a half-black, half Native-American slave mother and a white father, her former owner, who also has a white family. Paul-Edward's struggle for dignity and independence as a free man in a world that denies him equality, respect or justice is both deeply disturbing and uplifting. Taylor's characters are well developed and various, and Santiago-Hudson's reading is superb. He reads with expression and accuracy in a variety of distinct voices and accents. Adept at the mean and harsh tones, his warm, homey accents linger after the tape is over. This prequel pre·quel n.
