註釋"As Far as Blood Goes is a biographical novel that chronicles the efforts of a talented, unhappy black youngster to escape slavery and become a physician (as is his white natural father). Though the hero, Michael , is fictional, his accomplishments parallel those of hundreds of now-forgotten black men and women who overcame the crushing barriers of their times to lead lives of quiet achievement and dignity. Michael Mabaya's story is the stuff of great fiction for after her achieves his goal and becomes a respected physician he draws attention to himself by reading a controversial paper he's written at a medical convention. The result: he is taken back to Virginia to be sold as a common slave. His only hope is that his father acknowledges him at last -- and his white brother will come to his rescue!"--Back cover.
