Equal parts cultural history and memoir, God, Dr. Buzzard, and the Bolito Man recounts a traditional way of life--that of the Geechee Indians of Sapelo Island-- that is threatened by change, with stories that speak to our deepest notions of family, community, and a connection to one's homeland. Cornelia Walker Bailey models herself after the African griot, the tribal storytellers who keep the history of their people. Bailey's people are the Geechee, whose cultural identity has been largely preserved due to the relative isolation of Sapelo, a barrier island off the coast of Georgia. In this rich account, Bailey captures the experience of growing up in an island community that counted the spirits of its departed among its members, relied on pride and ingenuity in the face of hardship, and taught her firsthand how best to reap the bounty of the marshes, woods and ocean that surrounded her. The power of this memoir to evoke the life of Sapelo Island is remarkable, and the history it preserves is invaluable. "A special book that reveals the unconquerable spirit of a people who, though torn from their African homeland, imprinted America with a unique culture that continues to endure." --EbonyBinding Type: Paperback

Love these!
Size: 9, Color: Champagne-satin
I purchased these to attend a wedding as a guest. I wear a size 9 sneaker and ordered a size 9 in these. They fit well and are fairly comfortable during a quick try on and walk around. Theyre a little slick on the bottom but have a textured sole to help which i love. The color is so pretty and is true to what is pictured. I haven't worn these for an extended period of time, but feel as if they will be fairly comfortable for wedding wear. I love the chunk heel as it provides more support to walk around on. Overall great heel!

Beautiful Shoes, Bring Band-Aids
Size: 8, Color: Gold/Glitter
I bought these for a wedding and, let me tell you, they passed the ultimate test: an entire night of dancing like I was still in my twenties.
The shoes are cute, surprisingly sturdy, and looked great with my dress. They made it through hours of standing, walking, and questionable dance-floor decisions.
That said... my feet were not thrilled with me afterward. I ended up with blisters that seemed determined to become a permanent part of my personality for the next couple of weeks.
Would I wear these as an everyday shoe? Absolutely not.
Would I wear them to another wedding? Probably.
Were they worth the cost? Definitely.
Just do yourself a favor and pack some blister pads in your purse before you hit the dance floor.

Comfortable and complimentary
Size: 11, Color: Brown
The shoes are very comfortable and easily broke in after two wears. I get several compliments on them daily, and others have purchased them after seeing mine. I also have the black pair, but the brown ones are my favorite. Sizing is true to size, an excellent value for your money, and they are lightweight and breathable. The soles are thick, which makes them extremely comfortable.

Comfy and non slip! Amazing!
Size: 9.5, Color: All Black
I work 12hrs sometimes on my feet. These shoes are amazing !!! Broke them in on a 10hr shift and they feel like walking on pillows. My feet were comfy and not throbbing. I felt the difference in the non slip in the kitchen and I’ll say it outright……. Worth the $40! I got the brown coming and I’m assuming they’ll be just as comfortable. Bruno Marc’s are great!
