- Summary
- "Telling the interracial love story of an English professor and a traditional woodcarver from a tiny Nigerian village, this memoir follows one woman on her journey back into parts of her life where unresolved conflicts remain like landmines on her path.".
- "From bouts with anorexia, her mother's alcoholic marriage, a failed marriage of her own, and her trauma after being shot and nearly killed by two black teenagers (the violent confrontation that becomes a central reference point in this story), Kate Ellis's life opens out in unexpected directions. In an attempt to come to terms with the assault, Ellis attends several black churches and volunteers to work with inner-city teenagers.
- While chaperoning a trip to Nigeria she meets Foley, an artist with whom she enters into a marriage filled with challenges and surprises."--BOOK JACKET.
