Keep It or Sweep It? APOOO asks you to be the judge. Check out the book trailer for Abraham’s Well by Sharon Ewell Foster. Read the product description and then share your thoughts regarding what you think about the trailer. Hopefully, it will entice you to want to pick up the book. After all, isn’t that what a trailer is supposed to do? If you need to whet your appetite further, CLICK HERE to read the review by APOOO team member Dera Williams.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: I have discovered there’s Indian in my family heritage…. The time is 1838. Armentia pointed to a well on the land their Cherokee master owns. “It seems hard to believe now, son, but someday we’ll have our own land. Land with a well just like this one….” Inspired by true events, authentic slave narratives, and other historical accounts, Abraham’s Well is the profoundly moving story of the Black Cherokee–African Americans, both slave and free–who, along with native people, walked the Trail of Tears. It is the story of their forced removal from the Southeast to Indian Territory—modern day Oklahoma–and of the courage and faith of one woman as she struggles to overcome her desperate circumstances. And it is the story of an author who, in researching and writing, found her own way home.

I’m not fond of book trailers in general but this one’s okay. I don’t know whether this, or any trailer, actually increases sales.
But I can make a huge recommendation for Abraham’s Well. This is a fabulous book. Anyone interested in learning more about our real history, the one you don’t learn about in school, would be well advised to pick it up.

Thanks for the feedback Patricia…I’m a trailer fan…especially when they’re done well.
Hi, this is my first visit to Apooo Bookclub’s site and I’m overjoyed by all of its goodness.
I’m not all that big on book trailer’s either, but this one is nice. Abraham’s Well sounds like an interesting read. I love historical literature, so I look forward to getting a copy.

I think this book trailer is very compelling–it sold me on the book!

This trailer did not compel me to buy the book. I think because it’s a HF novel, that alone will make me want to read it. Not big on trailers.
