CALLING ME HOME

Book ID/图书代码： 14289011B48097

English Summary/英文概要： It’s 1939, and Isabelle McAllister feels trapped, both by the boundaries that define her racially divided Kentucky town and by the expectations of her domineering mother. When she encounters her black housekeeper’s son during an illicit night out, she finds herself embarking on a dangerous romance, one that will spark a chain of tragic events and change her life and her family’s future forever.

Decades later, Dorrie Curtis is a hairstylist in Texas who seems to have little in common with her elderly, white client, Miss Isabelle. But when Isabelle asks Dorrie to drive her cross-country to a funeral, an unlikely friendship is formed, and Dorrie realizes she has much more in common with Miss Isabelle than she could have ever imagined. Ultimately, they form an unbreakable bond nurtured by their stories of heartbreak, misfortune, and redemption.

CALLING ME HOME is one of those rare novels that will finds its way to your heart and stay with you long after you finish reading (and it has one of the best endings I’ve read in some time). I believe the poignant, subtle magic of Julie Kibler’s story will resonate with readers of THE HELP, THE NOTEBOOK, and FRIED GREEN TOMATOES.
