"There is no shortage of pain in this world, and certainly not for a Black woman trying to do good work against all odds. Katia Daniels, the protagonist of Angela Jackson-Brown’s dynamic new novel, Untethered, spoke directly to my soul with her servant’s heart, her hidden sorrows, and her resolve to be strong for everyone around her. This character gave me such a powerful mirror in which I could gaze and feel seen, and this novel showed me the ways that faith can waver but always win, love can delay but not be lost, and grief can sometimes give us pause so we can breathe into joy. Angela Jackson-Brown has once again proven that Black characters are fully human and that we, Black girls from Alabama who strive daily to make this world sing, are worthy of celebration and immortality in the pages of great literature. This is a remarkable book."
—Ashley M. Jones, Poet Laureate of Alabama
"Angela Jackson-Brown has written a deeply emotional novel that feels timeless while also speaking to the particularly troubled times in which we live." (for Homeward)
—Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author of When Ghosts Come Home
