The year is 1862, and the Civil War rages through the South. On a Virginia tobacco plantation, another kind of battle soon begins. There, Cassius Howard, a skilled carpenter and slave, risks everything -- punishment, sale to a cotton plantation, even his life -- to learn the truth concerning the murder of Emoline, a freed black woman, a woman who secretly taught him to read and once saved his life. It is clear that no one cares about her death in the midst of a brutal and hellish war. No one but Cassius, who braves horrific dangers to escape the plantation and avenge her loss. As Cassius seeks answers about Emoline's murder, he finds an unexpected friend and ally in Quashee, a new woman brought over from another plantation; and a formidable adversary in Hoke Howard, the master he has always obeyed. With subtlety and beauty, Sweetsmoke captures the daily indignities and harrowing losses suffered by slaves, the turmoil of a country waging countless wars within its own borders, and the lives of those people fighting for identity, for salvation, and for freedom.Binding Type: Hardcover

Where has this been all my life. Fits a lot. Doesn’t get gross.
Color: Black, Size: with Dishcloth Holder
I don’t know where this thing has been all my life. Over the years I’ve tried so many ways to keep all the dishwashing stuff organized and not dripping on the counter or getting lost in the sink. Every holder I had before would catch water and end up gross. This one actually works. It fits perfectly on the back ledge of my sink, and I love the little spout that angles into the sink. It’s just big enough to clear the edge but small enough that it’s not in the way. The rack for hanging our blue scrubby is my favorite part. There is never a great place for that thing. The rack does come unhooked easily, including if we bump it, but was easily fixed by taking some pliers and just tightening where it clamps on a bit. It holds more than I expected. The bottom is angled so water drains right out through the spout instead of pooling. It’s very nice quality - does not feel cheap. Honestly, I love it more than I thought I would.

Its looks nice but its not as it seems in the photos
Color: Black, Size: with Dishcloth Holder
Its ok. Unless I am doing something wrong it is not adjustable unless they meant only the drain. The middle section couldn't be removed to make an area bigger or smaller it's permanent. So the middle section is a lot smaller than it seems. The taller section to place your cleaning tool can not be tall over wise it just hangs over and drips in the sink. The drain part is a nice idea but because it's straight and not curved a little down, the water stays in the drain and you have to tip it forward to get the water out. Looked nice in black.

Just what I needed!
Color: Black, Size: with Dishcloth Holder
Holds all my sink brushes and scrubbies. I have black accents in my kitchen and goes nicely. I especially love the dish rag bar.
