Description
The date is 1919--a time of unrest and drastic change. For Alena, though, life in Mississippi is perfect, and she prays she will never leave her home. That prayer is shattered when she makes a horrible discovery--a discovery that leads her to challenge all she believes. Against the backdrop of the Great Migration, from a quiet, country setting, Alena is catapulted to Chicago, the "city of broad shoulders." There, amidst riots, misplaced love, and post-war confusion, the outspoken young woman struggles to find herself and the one true thing that will save her.Â
Winner of the Christy Award for Fiction, Passing by Samaria was named the NAACP Book of the Year in 2000. First published by Multnomah Publishing in December 1999, this book is now published by 3Sisters Publishing.
