The book traces his father’s family history to Ireland and encompasses such events as slavery in the American South, the Trail of Tears, and the Civil War. The book’s title refers to Haley’s paternal grandmother. Haley died in 1992, and the book was completed by David Stevens and posthumously published the year after Haley’s death. That year it was adapted into a television miniseries starring Halle Berry.
