Marita Golden, author of MIGRATIONS OF THE HEART and A WOMAN'S PLACE, tells a gripping story of love and struggle in LONG DISTANCE LIFE. The novel chronicles seventy years in the life of one Black family's triumphs in escaping their sharecroppers' life in 1920s North Carolina, following them as they deal with the tumultuous urban world of 1980s Washington, D.C. Naomi Johnson finds a transforming life and love that nothing in Spring Hope, North Carolina could have prepared her for. A generation later, her daughter Esther discovers herself through the Civil Rights movement. Caught in the web of history, Esther and her two sons Nathaniel and Logan play out their parts on a world stage that constantly changes, protected always by the one thing that never changes--their love for each other.
