This book deserves all the stars! Such a fantastic novel and sequel to The Kitchen House!

Although I enjoyed Kitchen House (book one), I enjoyed this one even more. Grissom does a great job identifying her characters, so the reader can relate to them. I fell in love with little Pan in this book, just as Grissom intended me…

I find it offensive that a Canadian White woman is writing about the atrocities that occurred in our country to Black people. I also take offense to her interpretation of how she thought these people talked and felt. I gave it 1 star…

Certainly as good at the first 'The Kitchen House' book. This story continues with mainly the story of Jamie living up north. Things are not equal up north but certainly better than the south. The author did a nice job showing and…

Good follow up to The Kitchen House. Good group discussions for a book club.

GLORY OVER EVERYTHING is a worthy sequel to THE KITCHEN HOUSE. While it can easily be treated as a stand-alone novel, I would recommend reading THE KITCHEN HOUSE first to fully appreciate the overall story and background of the characters.…

I could not put this book down. Loved the style of writing and the story line. Also read "The Kitchen House." A very good read also.

This book was okay, however I found myself enjoying the kitchen house novel much better. It was interesting to see how Jamie's life progressed after the kitchen house but as for the other main characters from the kitchen house not much was…

Haven't read "The Kitchen House," but now have it on hold. This does give enough backstory to make sense. Jamie grows from a terrified 13 year old to a confident adult, yet the fear of what he knows of his own background keeps him from…

This book picks up where the author's previous book The Kitchen House ended. It can easily be read on it's own but I would highly recommend both books so if you think you will like this type of story then start with The Kitchen House. They…

An exciting and emotional story! I recommend reading The Kitchen House first as this is a sequel. Loved both books.

Loved The Kitchen House, so was excited to see a sequel come out. Enjoyed this one as well. Didn't remember much about Jamie from the first book, but liked him in this book, flaws and all. Part of the book is Jamie's backstory, and the…
