<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Still Time on Pye Pond stands at the intersection of literature and visual arts. It is the story of a young White woman, my daughter, rejected by her paternal grandfather for marrying a Black man. The memoir is told principally in encaustic paintings, from my point of view as the mother who remains painfully silent to avoid further unraveling tenuous family bonds."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Still Time on Pye Pond </em>makes an artful plea for tearing down color barriers in love and marriage. Wistful or wishful, the text sets the stage for vibrant encaustic art to portray the remnants of a segregated past. The images open on a bucolic scene and slowly focus on discarded fragments of life on an old southern farm, invaded by nature and ravaged by time. The combination of image and language brings a vigor to the story that surpasses what might be achieved with only one medium. In its colorful format, in its poignant subject matter, in its deeply rooted yet radiant geography, the Still Time on Pye Pond story is sure to resonate deeply at home in the South, and also more widely where southern realities are mirrored.</p>
