From the author of The Keepers of the House, a "beautiful" novel following a black mother and daughter through the Great Depression and Civil Rights era (The Boston Globe).

Mary is an orphaned, homeless, African American child, abandoned by the rest of her family and left to care for her younger brother. She becomes a "roadwalker," a nomad who wanders across the rural south and quickly learns to rely on herself to survive.

When she grows up to become a successful artist and a designer, she has a daughter of her own, Nanda, and she's determined to hold her child close. But when Nanda is accepted into an elite school on the East Coast, integrating the all-white Catholic girls' academy, Mary finds she can't keep some of the world's cruel realities at bay forever.

Told from the perspective of both mother and daughter, Roadwalkers is the story of a special bond forged by savage history, and a tale of extraordinary loyalty and sacrifice. From a National Book Award finalist and Pulitzer Prize winner, it is "a bold novel [that] seduces us with its vigorous prose, enthralls us with its narrative -- and disquiets us with its defiance of our expectations" (The New York Times Book Review).

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Shirley Ann Grau, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.
