“The Sea Island community surrounding Beaufort, South Carolina, served as a center of historical action and events during our country’s Civil War and Reconstruction Period. Iconic historical figures, families of southern planters, and emancipated enslaved Africans were involved in the Port Royal Experiment on the land and surrounding waterways."

"In Swift Currents, David Grim introduces readers to powerful figures who came to the region to make significant contributions: Harriet Tubman, Laura Towne, Clara Barton, Charlotte Forten, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Robert Smalls, and Robert Gould Shaw.   His story seamlessly interweaves fictional characters with nonfictional events and individuals to document the unique Gullah culture and language. Grim conveys history through the point-of-view of a people whose perspectives of family, racial justice, and freedom have rarely been shared in literature.”
