Inheriting the Trade (audio edition)Brilliance Audio, which is publishing the audio edition of my cousin Tom’s book, Inheriting the Trade, has decided to have Tom narrate the audio edition himself!

I think this is a wonderful idea. Not only does Tom have a strong and compelling speaking voice, but the book is essentially a memoir, and a particularly personal and powerful one. Having Tom provide the voice himself is just perfect.

Inheriting the Trade (audio edition)As I’ve mentioned before, my cousin Tom DeWolf has written a book, Inheriting the Trade: A Northern Family Confronts Its Legacy as the Largest Slave-Trading Dynasty in U.S. History, which is being published in January 2008.

The book will now also be published in an audio edition by Brilliance Audio. The audio book will be released around the same time as the hardcover edition (scheduled for January).

Inheriting the TradeMy cousin, Tom DeWolf, has written a memoir about the journey which ten of us undertook in 2001 to retrace the steps of our slave-trading ancestors and to explore the legacy of the slave trade today.

That book, Inheriting the Trade: A Northern Family Confronts Its Legacy as the Largest Slave-Trading Dynasty in U.S. History, about the legacy of Senator James D’Wolf and his family, will be published by Beacon Press in January.
