A Long Way from Home Display (Paperback)

Susie, her daughter Clara, and her granddaughter Susan are house slaves born and reared at Montpelier, the Virginia plantation of President James Madison. Three generations of proud, intelligent black women, they are united by love and a fierce desire for freedom that grows stronger year by year.

In a magnificent, heartfelt story that spans more than six decades, New York Times bestseller Connie Briscoe recreates a vivid and unforgettable era in the American South. It is a novel that pays grateful homage to the African-American experience, and to the indomitable ancestors whose lives and histories intertwine with our own.
