Calling Me Home by Julie Kibler
Set against the backdrop of the racially charged American South, this poignant narrative weaves together the lives of two women from different generations and backgrounds. As they embark on a road trip from Texas to Cincinnati, an elderly white woman shares her forbidden love story from the 1930s with her young African American hairdresser. Through their journey, they confront the lingering shadows of the past, exploring themes of love, loss, and the enduring impact of societal prejudices. This heartfelt tale reveals the power of friendship and the courage it takes to confront one's history.
