Diane Schriener, Dee, is a woman with no home. It is the mid 60's in the Midwest. Her father has banned her from contacting her family in Southern Michigan after she turns up pregnant...by a black man. Johnnie Jones takes Dee back to the big city of Chicago and they make their way, dealing with racism and their innocent youth. Dee finds a new extended family in Chicago, where she bonds with Addie Henderson, Johnnie's grandmother, and loves to hear stories she spins about growing up and living as a black woman in Chicago. Addie reminds her of her own great grandmother, Amelia Schriener, who was the matriarch of Dee's farming family in Southern Michigan. This is the second book in the Schriener Road series, but can be read alone as well.
