The latest New York Times bestseller from the author of the beloved book club favorite The Kitchen House is a heart racing story about a man’s treacherous journey through the twists and turns of the Underground Railroad on a mission to save the boy he swore to protect. Glory Over Everything is “gripping…breathless until the end” (Kirkus Reviews).

The year is 1830 and Jamie Pyke, a celebrated silversmith and notorious ladies’ man, is keeping a deadly secret. Passing as a wealthy white aristocrat in Philadelphian society, Jamie is now living a life he could never have imagined years before when he was a runaway slave, son of a southern black slave and her master. But Jamie’s carefully constructed world is threatened when he discovers that his married socialite lover, Caroline, is pregnant and his beloved servant Pan, to whose father Jamie owes his own freedom, has been captured and sold into slavery in the South.

Fleeing the consequences of his deceptions, Jamie embarks on a trip to a North Carolina plantation to save Pan from the life he himself barely escaped as a boy. With the help of a fearless slave, Sukey, who has taken the terrified young boy under her wing, Jamie navigates their way, racing against time and their ruthless pursuers through the Virginia backwoods, the Underground Railroad, and the treacherous Great Dismal Swamp.

“Kathleen Grissom is a first-rate storyteller…she observes with an unwavering but kind eye, and she bestows upon the reader, amid terrible secrets and sin, a gift of mercy: the belief that hope can triumph over hell” (Richmond Times Dispatch). Glory Over Everything is an emotionally rewarding and epic novel “filled with romance, villains, violence, courage, compassion…and suspense.” (Florida Courier).

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Glory over everything, Kathleen Grissom has done it again! With her second novel, Kathleen gives us a stirring and uplifting tale of the triumph of compassion and courage over bigotry and brutality. The story jumps of the page, and her characters are unforgettably human. Perfect for book club discussions, Glory Over Everything is absolutely a must read." -- David R. Gillham, author of City of Women

“As she proved in The Kitchen House and reaffirms in GLORY OVER EVERYTHING, Grissom is a first-rate storyteller….But storytelling alone does not define her talents. A master of character creation and development, she draws a memorable cast….Throughout the novel, Grissom neither moralizes nor excuses; instead, she observes with an unwavering but kind eye, and she bestows upon the reader, amid terrible secrets and sin, a gift of mercy: the belief that hope can triumph over hell.” ― Richmond Times Dispatch

Grissom’s lyrical storytelling is rich with period details, and the novel can be read as either a memorable standalone or a captivating sequel to The Kitchen House. ― Publishers Weekly

This author is a wonderful storyteller. Finish the 1 in the series of 2, and couldn't wait to read this one. Both stories take place early 1800's. So the author puts a new spin on racial prejudice. Best 2 books that I've read this year. Both likely to be bestsellers.

The sequel is equal to The Kitchen House

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 8, 2016

It is not necessary to have read The Kitchen House in order to enjoy Glory Over Everything, but it makes for a richer experience. Glory Over Everything is a story of slavery told predominately in 1830, about 30 years before the Civil War. The book tells the escape of Jamie Pyke from his southern Virginia home. Jamie is the product a mulatto mother raped by the white master. After a series of tragedies in The Kitchen House book, 13 year old Jamie escapes and ends up in Philadelphia. Though he is "yellow" and easily passes for white, he lives in fear of being discovered and sold as a slave. Jamie is a talented artist and through a series of fortunate events becomes a wealthy man, who goes by the name of James Burton. Two pivotal things happen to force him to leave Philadelphia, one being the kidnapping and enslavement of Pan, a young Negro boy in his employ. The rest of the novel details Mr. Burton's efforts to rescue Pan and the people who help and hinder him along the way. To give more detail would spoil the book.

The story is told by four narrators: Mr. Burton/Jamie, Pan, Sukey (from The Kitchen House), and a white woman named Caroline. It is fast paced (my heart was pounding at times) and hard to put down. It seems well researched and the writing quality is good. I found that I enjoyed the characters more from The Kitchen House and I wish they had more of a role here. However, Mr. Burton is a man with complex problems and is not intended to always be likable. I really appreciated the portrayal of the subtleties of race and the various relationships between whites and Negros. Some see Mr. Burton as white while others see him as 100% Negro. As the story moves along, he struggles with his own identity and the kind of man he wants to be.

I am typically down on a tied in a bow happy ending. However, I would say this is more in line with a hopeful ending and a dash of redemption. Some awful things happened to get these people to happy. I also think that though this book has a defined ending, the author leaves plenty of room for another sequel. If so, I will read it!

Awesome story!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 1, 2022

This was a real captivating story. I looked forward to reading every chance I could get (finished it in 2.5 weeks). You feel like you are there with the characters seeing and feeling their triumphs and sorrows. It really brought to light just how ugly slavery really was and how strong black people were to even attempt the freedom trail. As a native Virginian, I also think the author did a great job of researching the geographical areas that the book describes and bringing to life the Great Dismissal Swamp and other southern areas described in the book. If you can, please read her prequal - the Kitchen House before you read Glory over Everything. You will get a greater understanding of why the characters in this book felt the way they did. I really think both books should be made into either a tv mini-series or a movie!

An Enthralling Book--A Must-Read!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

So you know what it feels like when a book grabs you on the first page? Or after the first paragraph? Or even after the first sentence? Yeah, that's this book.

This is the story of Jamie Pyke, who was conceived after the master of a Virginia plantation raped one of his black slaves. But Jamie looks white and passes as white. His story begins in the predecessor to this book, "The Kitchen House," where he is a minor character and small boy. Now it is 1830. He is grown and living in Philadelphia, having escaped Virginia at age 13 for committing a horrific crime on the plantation. He creates a wonderful life for himself in Philadelphia, but all of that is threatened when his racial secret is exposed to a few influential people. Just as this happens, he learns that Pan, a special child in his life, was captured on the docks of Philadelphia and sent south to be sold into slavery. And so Jamie faces his greatest terror and returns to the South to find and rescue Pan--where he could very well be captured and hung for the crime he committed 20 years ago.

Kathleen Grissom has written an enthralling story about the transforming power of love, the extraordinary bravery of some and the inhumane barbarism of others. It will make you laugh, and it will make you cry. Most of all, it will make you think as it brings to life through these brilliantly conceived characters this ugly piece of our American history.

I just hope there is a third book in this series that is not really a series.

Challenges perceptions

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

I couldn't wait to start this book after consuming The Kitchen House and I was not let down. This book follows the slave son of the plantation owner from the first book and his status after running away to Philadelphia. I have never read anything about the lives of freed slaves and about slaves who were often mistaken for white by society and went on to lead almost 'normal' lives in the upper classes of America at that time. It was fascinating and took me on a roller coaster of emotions as I followed his trials and tribulations along the way. There are some hideous scenes in this book but I feel they had to be told to highlight the ignorance and stupidity of white society in a time of 'so-called' enlightenment. This is a book that challenges perceptions and points out the absurdity of human nature.

Not Quite Glorious But Still A Worthy Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

I was quite keen to read this follow up to The Kitchen House, which was
a fine read about slavery and all the pain that that entails.
It follows on with the story of Jamie who escaped from the plantation in
the first book.
Although white he is half negro, and is forever looking over his shoulder,
as he shot and killed his despicable white father before escaping.

A young negro lad, Pan, whilst living with Jamie, is whisked away into slavery,
and this tale follows Jamie as he tries to rescue him.
Whilst this is a pretty good read I still favour the earlier book.
But don't let that stop you reading on if you enjoyed the first book.
