How Far To The Promised Land, by Esau McCaulley

From award-winning author Esau McCaulley, comes his latest book, How Far To The Promised Land, that takes you on his intergenerational journey of his family's search for hope. For much of his life, Esau McCaulley overcame many obstacles and through his hard work, faith, and determination, he earned a job as a university professor, and jumped into the middle class. That all changed one night when McCaulley learned that his absent father died in a car crash. Having more questions than answers, McCaulley went back through his family history, seeking to understand what has defined him. In the book, we meet his great-grandmother, a tenant farmer born with the gift of prophecy during the Jim Crow era; his mother who raised four kids alone in a time when single Black mothers were seen in a bad light, and a lot of family, friends, and neighbors who had their own stories to tell. This is a story that reflects on how it is and was to be Black in America.
