Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 As a child, I was often quiet. I did not speak much, and I remember feeling shame and fear when my parents would ask me to do something. I would wait for moments to pass, for the confusion to subside, for the adults around me to say, Everything is okay. #2 The word whore is a slur against women, and I learned about it as a child growing up in a home with few attempts to censor the vulgarities of the world. I was afraid to call my grandmother such an ugly name. #3 I learned that if I felt pretty or stylish, something was wrong. If I wanted to look cute, like everyone else always seemed to look with their nice clothes and nice hair and nice smiles, shame would follow. #4 I was a child who did not speak up, and as an adult, I did not. I had to watch my friends become my ex-husband’s friends and feel their affection for me diminish. I had to learn the most important lesson I had learned as a child: to be quiet.

Book Description
"Count your blessings," his mother told him, "Think of everything good in your life." Pulitzer Prize finalist Lee Martin has done it again. Building from his acclaimed first memoir, From Our House, which recounts the farming accident that cost his father both his hands, Gone the Hard Road is the story of Beulah Martin's endurance and sacrifice as a mother, and the gift of imagination she offered her son. Martin unfolds the world she created for him within their unsettled family life, from the first time she read to him in a doctor's office waiting room, to enrolling him in a children's book club, to the books she bought him in high school. Gone the Hard Road portrays Beulah's selflessness as the family moved around the Midwest, sometimes in the face of her husband's opposition, to show her son a different way of being. Rather than concentrate on the life his father threatened to destroy, as Martin's previous memoirs do, Gone the Hard Road offers the counternarrative of a loving mother and the creative life she made possible, in spite of the eventual cost to herself. A poignant, honest, and moving read, Gone the Hard Road will stay with anyone who has ever struggled to find their place in the world.

Book Description
The past and the present converge in this enthralling, serpentine tale of women connected by motherhood, slavery's legacy, and histories that span centuries. In 1850 in Massachusetts, Whittaker House stood as a stop on the Underground Railroad. It's where two freedom seekers, Little Annie and Clementine, hid and perished in a fire. Whittaker House still stands, and Little Annie and Clementine still linger, their dreams of freedom unfulfilled. Now a fashionably distressed vacation rental in the Berkshires, Whittaker House draws seekers of another kind: Black women who only appear to be free. Among them are Dominique, a single mother following her grandmere's stories to Whittaker House in search of an ancestor; Michelle, Dominique's lover, who has journeyed to the Berkshire Mountains to heal her own traumas; and Kaye, Michelle's sister, a seer whose visions reveal the past and future secrets of the former safehouse--along with her own. For each of them, true liberation can come only from uncovering their connection to history--and to the spirits awaiting peace and redemption within the walls of Whittaker House.
