Search - Rush Home Road

I don't know if this is an Oprah book. It sounds like one, with tragedy after tragedy. But unlike one of those, this has a nice amount of joy, some simple pleasures, and just the right kinds of love between human beings to alleviate the pain. It's a grand story of a 70 yr-old woman's sad life, recalled when she unbelievably takes in a mildly-retarded, mixed race child to raise. So wonderfully read by Ruby Dee, who does the voices of man, woman, child, perfectly. I really liked this book.
