Experience the struggles, sorrows, triumphs, and hopes of real people who survived one of the darkest periods of American history

As our nation has experienced a renewal of reckoning with the reality of slavery in our past and the continued struggle for equality and liberation in the present, many previously untold stories have come to light. But not every story. Some histories remain shrouded, waiting for someone to uncover them and make them known. Incredibly, other stories have been hiding in plain sight for decades.

Yonder Come Day brings many of these hidden histories into the light in an unconventional and powerful way. Drawing from the recorded interviews of more than three thousand formerly enslaved people from across the South, collected in the 1930s, Jasmine L. Holmes creates a compelling "collective memoir" unlike anything you've read.

The story follows Little One, a composite character who guides the modern-day reader through the experience of slavery. As she grows from Little Bit to Lonely One to Lovely One to Grandmama, she exposes both harsh truths and an irrepressible spirit, helping us better understand the love, resilience, and faithfulness necessary to survive the evils of our nation's original sin.
