Homeward : a novel / Angela Jackson-Brown.
"Georgia, 1962. Rose Perkins Bourdon returns home to Parsons, GA, without her husband and pregnant with another man's baby. After tragedy strikes her husband in the war overseas, a numb Rose is left with pieces of who she used to be and is forced to figure out what she is going to do with the rest of her life. Her sister introduces her to members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee--young people who are taking risks and fighting battles Rose has only seen on television. Violence sweeps the nation, from the bombing of Sixteenth Street Baptist Church to the assassination of the president, and rumors swirl of marches and protests. Feeling emotions for the first time in what feels like forever, the excited and frightened Rose finds herself becoming increasingly involved in the resistance efforts. And of course, there is also the young man, Isaac Weinberg, whose passion for activism stirs something in her she didn't think she would ever feel again. Homeward follows Rose's path toward self-discovery and growth as she becomes invovled in the Civil Rights Movement, finally becoming the woman she has always dreamed of being. -- Provided by publisher.
