Description:
Five-year-old Sharla is left by her mother in the care of elderly Addy, a strong black woman who takes care of the neglected child. The presence of Sharla, a girl of mixed blood, brings back memories for Addy of her own turbulent childhood in Rusholme, a town in Canada founded by escaped slaves.
'The Road Home' is a poignant yet hopeful story about the healing power of love and memories. It is a heartbreaking novel in the spirit of 'White Oleander' and 'The Color Purple', grand in scope and of a sparkling lyricism, written with the skilled hand of a master storyteller.
