Women's Fiction
Johnnie Kitchen is finally living her dream, attending
college and writing a column for the local paper. She adores
her husband Dale and chocolate Labrador Brother Dog, and
they reside in a comfortable home in the small town of
Portion in North Texas. Their three children are thriving
and nearly grown. But Johnnie is rattled when her youngest
boy Cade goes to fight in Afghanistan. The less frequent his
emails, the more she frets for his safety. On the home front, Johnnie learns that Portion is not the
forward-thinking town she believed. A boy Cade's age,
inflamed by a liberal bumper sticker and the sight of
Johnnie's black friend Whit, attacks them with the N-word
and a beer bottle. After Johnnie writes about the incident
in her column, a man named Roosevelt reaches out with
shameful stories from Portion's untold history. More tears
and triumphs will follow, as Johnnie's eyes are opened to
man's capacity for hate and the power of love and forgiveness. The sequel to Johnnie Come Lately.
