Homegoing

Homegoing by Toni Ann Johnson follows a middle-aged African-American woman facing loss as she returns to her conservative white hometown. This fearless book tackles issues such as race, isolation, childhood trauma, abandonment and ultimately healing. Homegoing won the Accents Publishing Inaugural Novella Contest and we are proud to publish this brilliant work. What others say about Homegoing: Toni Ann Johnson has in Homegoing harnessed the unique power and grace of the novella. There's not a wasted word in this cinematically told, immediately engaging story, and yet the form affords her the length to develop characters whose deeply felt humanity makes them memorable. —Stuart Dybek, MacArthur Fellow and author of The Coast of Chicago, a New York Times Notable Book In her novella Homegoing, Toni Ann Johnson examines issues of race, racism, forgiveness, and family. Her prose is luminous yet wickedly funny—an enviable combination—and her characters searingly flawed. Homegoing is that rare, wondrous literary achievement: it makes you laugh even as it breaks your heart. —Colette Sartor, author of Once Removed, winner of the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction
