Book Overview
"Between the Pews: More Than a Sabbath Day's Journey from the Promise Land"
Set against a Southern backdrop of the segregated Jim Crow era and the Civil Rights Movement, "Between the Pews" is a poignant and powerful coming-of-age story about a young African American woman's journey to self-discovery and resilience.
Growing up in the tight-knit Promise Land Community, surrounded by loving family and friends, she experienced a peaceful and idyllic childhood. However, as a young adult: when she ventured beyond the safe haven of her community, she was thrust into a harsh reality that tested her resolve and forced her to confront the challenges head-on.
As she navigated the complexities of marriage, motherhood, and higher education, she faced numerous obstacles that threatened to derail her dreams. Yet, with determination and perseverance, she was driven by her unwavering desire to create a better life for herself and her family.
"Between the Pews" is a heartwarming and thought-provoking exploration of identity, community, and the human spirit's capacity for growth, adaptation, and triumph. Through her journey, this remarkable woman inspires us to reflect on our own lives, to cherish the relationships that nurture us, and to find the courage to pursue our passions, even in the face of adversity.
