I touched my heart on numerous levels, being a non-traditional performer/artist, Grandmother and the owner of much sought-after historical property. Our heroine, Josephine faces a test that requires her to look inward for strength, trust the wisdom of her friends and re-evaluate her own definition of what is precious in life. African American Artisans of all disciplines, property and small business owners may find a wealth of value from reading this book as we face many challenges that mirror those portrayed in this book...SMILE!!!

The toast of Europe, Josephine Evans had spent thirty years abroad establishing her reputation as one of the finest actresses of her generation. In Amsterdam, she redefined who and what an African American diva could be, and her legions of loyal fans loved her for it. But when a war she didn't even understand suddenly makes her the target of angry anti-American protests, Josephine is forced to return to America to see if she can find a new definition of home. Camping out with her granddaughter in Atlanta's West End, Josephine tries to reclaim her old life even as she scrambles to shape her new one. An unexpected reunion with an old friend, Abbie Allen Browning, soon offers her a chance to set things right. Rallying with Abbie against an unscrupulous land developer who threatens to tear the community apart, Josephine finds herself playing the most important role of her life, as she shows her neighbors what courage really is and learns the real meaning of coming home.
