[a] bracing memoir.” —Kirkus Review “Important. Riveting. Unforgettable . . . a profoundly captivating story that can profoundly change your own story.”—Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author of WayMaker Born White in the heart of Zululand during the racial apartheid, Lisa-Jo Baker longed to write a new future for her children—a longing that set her on a journey to understand where she fit into a story of violence and faith, history and race. Before marriage and motherhood, she came to the United States to study to become a human rights advocate. When she naïvely walked right into America’s own turbulent racial landscape, Baker experienced the kind of painful awakening that is both individual and universal, personal and social. Yet years would go by before she traced this American trauma back to her own South African past. Baker was a teenager when her mother died of cancer, leaving her with her father. Though they shared a language of faith and justice, she often feared him, unaware that his fierce temper had deep roots in a family’s and a nation’s pain. Decades later, old wounds reopened when she found herself spiraling into a terrifying version of her father, screaming herself hoarse at her son. Only then did Baker realize that to go forward—to refuse to repeat the sins of our fathers—we must first go back. With a story that stretches from South Africa’s outback to Washington, D.C., It Wasn’t Roaring, It Was Weeping is a courageous look at inherited hurts and prejudices, and a hope-filled example for all who feel lost in life or worried that they’re too off course to make the necessary corrections. Baker’s story shows that it’s never too late to be free. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Biography & Autobiography. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Christian Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Religion & Spirituality. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Baker, Lisa-Jo. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=10091961 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=e72b1768-daf4-407b-a286-48884642727d&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $z Sample 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/%7BE72B1768-DAF4-407B-A286-48884642727D%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/%7BE72B1768-DAF4-407B-A286-48884642727D%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/e72b1768-daf4-407b-a286-48884642727d $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240604014237.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=901CB02C223B11EF96E545AA58ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
