The Broken Road-- view from an Alabamian
Revisado: 01-26-20
THE BROKEN ROAD: JOURNEY TO RECONCILIATION is a very good book. I grew up at the same time Peggy Wallace Kennedy did. The events in the book, as I remember, were exactly as she described. I think most of us who grew up in Alabama but have traveled widely have had their own "reconciliation" of their childhood.
Listening to the Audible recording was most difficult since the reader did not know pronunciations of towns and cities in Alabama. I think this was an unfortunate because I cringed as Mobile, Birmingham, Clio, and Tuskegee, among others, were read. I assume if you are not from Alabama or the South pronunciation would not be an issue. The book is worth a read.
