WHAT IF ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS NOT ASSASSINATED?
What would have happened if Abraham Lincoln, a President from the prairie, had not been assassinated and had administered the reconstruction? Would Blacks have received reparations and if so would America have been attacked on September 11; would the government have failed to timely respond to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, would the Columbine massacre have occurred, would even Hip Hop have existed in its current form today? One thing that is absolutely certain: if Lincoln had not been assassinated, what America would have had after the Civil War is A Prairie Headstart, which is the title of a provocative and powerful debut novel by Poppy Hines.
A Prairie Headstart is a brilliant novel about a remarkable, diverse cast of contemporary characters with an intertwining history and fate. Stimulating and gripping from the first sentence of the first paragraph on the first page, A Prairie Headstart is a sophisticated tale of race, class, love, and sexuality involving two dynamic families with ties as far back as slavery, sort of like the Hemings and the Jeffersons.
One of the first novel to address the issue of reparations, it is perhaps the most ambitious novel in scope since Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Still, A Prairie Headstart is far from preachy and is very much upbeat. It is both street and smart. Although the book is about love in general, the author offers a refreshing discourse on romantic love, specifically, love at first sight. A Prairie Headstart is a comic, tragic, and romantic literary masterpiece.
