The country is changing, and her own world is being turned upside
down. Nothing—and no one—will ever be the same. Georgia,
1962. Rose Perkins Bourdon returns home to Parsons, GA,
without her husband and pregnant with another man’s baby. After
tragedy strikes her husband in the war overseas, a numb Rose is
left with pieces of who she used to be and is forced to figure out
what she is going to do with the rest of her life. Her sister
introduces her to members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee—young people are taking risks and fighting battles Rose
has only seen on television. Feeling emotions for the first time in
what feels like forever, the excited and frightened Rose finds
herself becoming increasingly involved in the resistance efforts.
And of course, there is also the young man, Isaac Weinberg, whose
passion for activism stirs something in her she didn’t think she
would ever feel again. Homeward follows Rose’s path toward
self-discovery and growth as she becomes involved in the Civil
Rights Movement, finally becoming the woman she has always dreamed
of being.
