Book Description
It's 1984 in the west of Ireland, and two sisters have unwittingly betrayed each other. My Heart Went Walking follows Una, who gives up everything to protect the people she loves, and her sister Ellie, who is left behind to pick up the pieces. With the prose of Sue Monk Kidd mixed with the dialogue of Maeve Binchy, this is a captivating, emotional, and uplifting debut novel set against the sweeping landscape of rural Ireland and Dublin City in the 1980s. Una runs away from her home and family in Donegal to start over in the “big smoke” of Dublin City, leaving a bereft family looking for answers. A year later, wondering if it might be safe to go back, she comes face-to-face with the heartbreaking reality that if she does so, she'll ruin her sister Ellie's newfound happiness. Una stays away and processes her pain alone while building a new life for herself with help from an unexpected source … until tragedy strikes and she must go home, where the secrets she has fought so hard to keep could destroy all their lives. My Heart Went Walking is a story of heartbreak and difficult choices, of tragedy and romance, of giving up everything to save your loved ones and trying to figure out your new path in life. With its evocative and witty prose, Sally Hanan will take you back to the '80s and pull you in to the Irish approach to life — that of grit and laughter — and leave you with an overriding reminder of the possibility of hope and restoration in all things.

Book Description
Descended from West African kings and healers, raised in the turbulence of Guinea in the 1960s, Kadiatou Diallo was married off at the age of thirteen and bore her first child when she was sixteen. Twenty-three years later, that child—a gentle, innocent young man named Amadou Diallo—was gunned down without cause on the streets of New York City. Now Kadi Diallo tells the astonishing, inspiring story of her life, her loss, and the defiant strength she has always found within. It was Kadi Diallo’s voice that captivated the public when she came to America to defend her slain son, and it is that same voice—candid, wise, and generous—that fills the pages of this extraordinary book. Kadi reaches back to her earliest memories of growing up in Guinea, the daughter of a strict man who was thwarted by the relics of the French colonial system. Raised in a world in which age-old religious and cultural rituals were disappearing before the onslaught of modernity, Kadi saw her own childhood end abruptly at age thirteen when her father literally gave her away in marriage. Kadi prayed for death, but instead she found herself plunged into a baffling new life—the life of a second wife in a strange household in a distant country, and soon afterwards the teenage mother of a sweet-natured son. Yet somehow, Kadi managed not only to survive but to flourish. Despite the rigid strictures of African-Islamic culture, she attended school and later started a successful business of her own. She eventually divorced and remarried and lived for eight years in Bangkok. Back in Guinea, she learned that her oldest child Amadou had been shot in New York City in a case of racial profiling. Kadi read with outrage the American newspaper description of her son as “an unarmed West African street vendor.” “Nothing,” she writes, “could be more distant from the truth.” Now, with great pride and searing love, Kadi Diallo finally tells the truth about herself and her son. My Heart Will Cross This Ocean is an extraordinary book—a girl’s story of desire and innocence, a wife’s story of defiance, a mother’s story of unbearable loss, and a woman’s story of unshakable strength and love.
