 | Lead Me Home by Carleen Brice
When a loved one dies, a journey of anguish, confusion, fear, and loneliness begins. For African Americans, the journey is accompanied by the knowledge that black men and women have a greater chance of dying from major common diseases than their white counterparts, anger at the frequency of drug and violence-related deaths, and the collective grief of a community that has buried too many of its young people. In Lead Me Home, Carleen Brice gently guides the reader through the strange terrain of grief to the promise of home, a place of survival and new-found strength. She shares her personal story of loss and recovery, as well as the stories of others, so that readers will know they are not alone. Here are practical tips for making the difficult passage, as well as spiritual inspiration for making it to welcoming shores. AUTHOR: Carleen Brice
