In this evocative, deeply moving, and often funny JourneyBook Paula Lawrence Wehmiller writes of her experiences as educator, priest, parent, and member of a distinguished African-American family whose origins she yearns to trace, beyond slavery to the homeland.
"Telling stories is the way we speak in our family. 'Parable' is our mother tongue . . . . Separating stories from who I am would be like separating breathing from the way I live my life. The stories that want telling are my way of knowing where I've come from, who I am becoming, and who I am called to be in this world. . . " -from "Prologue", p. 1
