A Kind of Freedom

A Kind of Freedom

by Margaret Wilkerson Sexton

Spanning generations against the haunting backdrop of history's darkest hours, 'A Kind of Freedom' weaves the tale of a New Orleans family's fight against the corrosive legacy of racism. Evelyn, a Creole woman, takes her first steps into adulthood during World War II, a journey disrupted by societal prejudices. Her daughter, Jackie, years later grapples with the realities of a disintegrating marriage and drug abuse during the tumultuous 1980s. Finally, T.C., her grandson, endeavors to rebuild his life post-Hurricane Katrina, only to find his past and the allure of one last drug deal testing his resolve. It's an evocative exploration of struggle and resilience, race and remembrance, through the eyes of one black family in the South.
