Slow Way Home
$14.99Add to cartOn the surface, Brandon Willard seems like your average eight-year-old boy. He loves his mama, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and G. I. Joe. But Brandon’s life is anything but typical.
Wise beyond his years, Brandon understands he’s the only one in this world he can count on. It’s an outlook that serves him well the day his mama leaves him behind at the Raleigh bus station and sets off to Canada with “her destiny” — the latest man that she hopes will bring her happiness. The day his mother leaves, Brandon takes the first step toward shaping his own destiny. Soon he sends himself spending pleasant days playing with his cousins on his grandparents’ farm and trying to forget the past. In the safety of that place, Brandon finally is able to trust the love of an adult to help iron out the wiry places until his nerves are as steady as any other boy’s.
But when Sophie Willard shows up a year later with a determined look in her eye and a new man in tow, Brandon’s grandparents ignore a judge’s ruling and flee the state with Brandon. Creating a new life and identity in a small Florida town, Brandon meets the people who will fill him with self-worth and self-respect. He slowly becomes involved with “God’s Hospital,” a church run by the gregarious Sister Delores, a woman who is committed to a life of service for all members of the community, black and white, regardless of some townsfolk’s disapproval.

In a desolate place, naked and alone, he asks “Why live?” and hopes someone is listening who has the answer.

The noises, faint, fleeting, whispered into her consciousness like wraiths in the night.

She felt her forehead wrinkle, the fingers of one hand curl as she tried to discern what had awakened her. Something was not right. An oak tree lifted gnarled branches between the street lamp and her window, its leaves casting eerie spider-shadows across the far wall. When she’d been younger, Erin had asked that a small lamp on the desk by that wall be left on at night. Anything to dispel the jerking dances of those leaves. Lately she could watch the dark trembling across the posters of pop stars on her wall and be unafraid. But not tonight. On this night the shadows writhed and twitched. Erin listened . . . When Annie’s neighbor, Lisa Willit, is killed by an intruder in her home, Sheriff’s detectives are left with little evidence. Lisa’s daughter, Erin, saw the killer, but she’s too traumatized to give a description. The detectives grow desperate.

A nonbeliever, she finds herself begging God for help. What if her lack of experience leads Erin astray? The detectives could end up searching for a face that doesn’t exist.
