    Extractions: Excerpt Connie Briscoe In Her Own Words "I was born in Washington, D.C., on New Year's Eve, 1952. A younger sister followed about twenty-two months later. I had a happy, normal childhood in every way. Although shy and quiet in my early years, I began to get a little rebellious in my teens but nothing far out of the ordinary. The only thing unusual about my life was that I was born with a hearing loss, inherited from my father's side of the family. From childhood through my twenties, it was a moderate loss, and I was able to attend public schools (where I took lip-reading lessons) and go on to college with few problems. In my mid-twenties the loss worsened and, by graduate school I needed a hearing aid. When I was in my thirties my hearing really deteriorated, and I took a job at Gallaudet University and began to learn sign language. I've never let it hold me back from doing the things I wanted to do. I just adapt and go on." Read the rest at PLCMC P.G. County

    http://www.readinggroupguides.com/guides/long_way_from_home.asp
    
    Extractions: Set in the foothills of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains against the backdrop of the American Civil War, A Long Way from Home is a multigenerational story of slavery, freedom, and the indestructible bonds of love and family, witnessed through the lives of three unforgettable African-American women: Susie, her daughter Clara, and her granddaughter, Susan. Susie, trained as a house slave on Montpelier, the Virginia plantation of President Madison since childhood, enjoys the privileges that her position as maid to Miss Dolley provides her and eleven-year-old Clara. For Susie, life holds no promise beyond the boundaries of the plantation itself. She tries to impart this lesson to dreamy Clara, who longs to control her own destiny despite her mother's admonitions. "It takes money and know-how to live free," Susie warns her little girl. "You don't just up and do it." With the death of James Madison, the estate falls into the neglectful hands of Dolly's profligate son, Todd, and then to a series of owners, each posing a new threat to Susie and Clara, and the other long-time Madison slaves. Amidst these devastating changes, Clara grows to womanhood and becomes a mother herself, giving birth to two light-skinned daughters. The constant threat of separation becomes a tragic reality when her younger daughter, Susan, is sold to a wealthy businessman in Richmond. Torn from the beloved familiarity of the countryside and the only people she has ever known, Susan creates a new life for herself in the city, a life filled with both terror and hope. And it is in war-torn Richmond that she is able to realize the long-held dream of her ancestors: freedom.
