- After taking Geri Ann to high school Thursday morning, Gerald just kept driving towards Illinois and arrived at Woodsong with beautiful weather here that afternoon. Very soon he had photos of all the family in Georgia printed and spread out on the family room coffee table.

- I'll be speaking informally about how I came to write Love Cemetery, a non-fiction book, set in East Texas, on race and reconciliation. I'm known for writing about women's spirituality, pilgrimages and women activists around the world. So it's natural to be asked what race has to do with it.
