"[T]his account of a freed slave boy's search for his mother is distinguished by a vivid narrative voice and page-turning suspense."--Publishers Weekly "What a treat! The voices truly sing. Brava!"--Nikki Grimes, author of What is Goodbye?

In writing Walking Home to Rosie Lee, A. LaFaye hopes to honor all those African American families who struggled to reunite at the end of the Civil War, pay her respects those who banded together through the long struggle for freedom, and celebrate the families of today, As an adoptive parent who searched long and hard for the child God intended her to raise, she has a hint of the heartache and jubilation of the journey portrayed in this book. The author of the Scott O'Dell Award winning novel Worth, A. LaFaye is thrilled to be publishing her first picture book. She also teaches creative writing and children's and young adult literatures at Lee University during the year and at Hollins University in the summer. You can visit her at her website www.alafaye.com She lives in Tennessee with her daughter Adia. Keith D. Shepherd is a painter, graphic designer and educator working out of Kansas City, Missouri. Upon graduation from St. Louis Community College at Forest Park with an Associates Degree in Illustration then Washington University in St Louis with a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts he was recruited by Hallmark Cards, Inc. in Kansas City, Missouri. After 23 years Keith returned to his first love of painting and has since exhibited in various galleries and museums across the country.
