Expansive and lyrical, Unfollowers is a tale of religious angst, unrequited love, and the upheaval of racial and economic privilege. Equally adrift on both sides of the Atlantic, Barb must negotiate the distance between white America and Africa, between the spirituality of her ancestors and the straight tones of evangelicalism, and between rules and grace. When a former lover crashes her daughter's third birthday party, she's offered the chance to find her way home to Ethiopia, leaving her to choose between a rote life in America and an improvised life abroad"-- $c Provided by publisher. 586 $a Juniper prize for fiction 650 0 $a Evangelicalism $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Belonging (Social psychology) $x Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20221105011204.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=75D5932C13BB11ED9C55A27642ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
