If The Elders Call

A whileBlack Chronicles' Saga

By: Alvin M. Hayes

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The year was 1877 and Reconstruction was working until Presidential politics removed the union troops from the South unleashing violent cold-blooded men to pray upon black Americans.

Bertha and Tucker were raised in the ways of the Elders: maintain your dignity, know your history, and never compromise your values. Their children were more than sharecroppers. Junior, the oldest, was an astute businessman and new leader. Joan was a teacher. Joseph, the brother, no one wanted to fight. Rose fell in love with the wrong man. Gladys, the youngest, helped Rose through tough times.

"If the Elders Call" is a fictional family saga, a combination of "Roots" and "Django" that will leave you cheering. The thriller explodes with energy, realism, and unique characters.

The resilience

I liked the story. It was difficult to listen to at times . I would have preferred a narrator with a different voice.

Wonderful story

I really enjoyed the story, the virtual voice was a bit off and monotone but I still enjoyed it.

good story with terrible ai reading

i hated the ai reading. it was choppy and tried to sound like a Black person

Loved the story

Loved the story and the characters. Fearless and memorable. Didn’t care for digital voice too much.

The faith of two mules!

I thought the first series was good but, my how you’ve outdone yourself with the sequel. Earl was such a entrepreneur! His determined desire to provide a sustainable life for all of the Blacks was so captivating! Financial freedom was obtainable all due to Village mindset, jilted forward by Junior & Betty’s two mules.
