Description
Desperate to forget her past, sixteen-year-old CC arrives on her grandparents’ North Louisiana farm and asks, ‘will I ever feel normal again?’ She brushes aside her family’s attempts to break through her isolation and angst and hides her darkest secret from her beloved Gran. Even CC’s vivacious new friend, Addy, and a summer romance with steely eyed Eric can’t persuade her to reveal what happened last winter in New Orleans.
It’s 1964 and as Beatlmania and Motown captivate America’s youth, this young woman encounters small town racial tension, erupting sexual assault, and ignorance towards her beloved brain injured Uncle Bud, all issues fueling the dynamic conflicts in Leah Eskine’s debut novel.

A Note From the Publisher2>
Leah B. Eskine grew up in small southern towns in Louisiana and Texas and moved to New Orleans in her twenties. Her first novel CC’S Road Home was inspired by the high school students she taught. She lives with her best friend and husband, Paul, and their two rescue poodles. When she’s not writing, Leah enjoys country music and sixties rock, walking the dogs at dusk, lunch at neighborhood restaurants, and reading – a lot.
