"This moving novel . handled with credibility by the talented Glickman . is sustained by the rich period detail and by strong and fully realized characters." -- Booklist "Coincidence or not, the publication of  Marching to Zion  on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of The March on Washington is a powerful reminder of the discrimi­nation and unspeakable hardships African Americans suffered.  Marching to Zion  is a memorable story, with a very clear message that the journey is not over." --Jewish Book Council "Readers who are interested in Southern historical novels examining black-white relationships and those who enjoy good storytelling are the natural audience here." -- Library Journal "Religion isn't the only thing that stirs Glickman to fervor: she writes in a high-drama, no-holds-barred style when it comes to romance. [An] entertaining novel about sins of the flesh and the redemptive power of belief.

" -- Publishers Weekly "Glickman skillfully conveys the struggles of African-Americans and Jews during this era." -- Kirkus Reviews "A powerful tale of love, hatred, violence, hope, and regeneration. At its center, lives entwined, are a black man and a Jewish refugee, each as staunch and tenacious as the Zion they both seek." --Sonia Taitz, author of  The Watchmaker's Daughter "A literary triumph, and easily the best novel I have read this year. Mary Glickman's story of hope burns brightly through the darkness, driven by characters fighting to maintain dignity above all else." --Sandi Krawchenko Altner, author of  Ravenscraig   "Mary Glickman gives us a nuanced image of our twentieth-century selves, our society woven into stunning art. I see the Mississippi floods, the Jewish and African American dance of interconnection, and ultimately our paired journey toward Zion." --Carolivia Herron, author of  Thereafter Johnnie  and  Nappy Hair.
