Two Nations is comparable to a cross between Roots and The New World.

Two Nations, The Legend.
Loves Soft Voice is the story of Two Nations in book form, by Ruby Lee Thigpen Whitehurst, based on family legend .
Honoring My Ancestors.
The great storytellers in my family often shared amazing stories especially my maternal grandmother, Virginia Caroline Boston and her siblings, my great aunts and uncles. They grew up during a time when families shared family time together. Often, they gathered around a nice warm fire and listened as the Old Ones shared legends and ghost stories, on cold, dark, winter nights.
