The Way Back Home

By: Courtney Peppernell

3.90

Format: 240 pages, Paperback

When a dark storm settled upon the earth, you lost many things—your hope, your strength, yourself. …

"They wonder why we need big parades filled with color and confetti or a month dedicated to asking for recognition and empathy. And to them, I do not respond in anger or affliction, even if sometimes if feels like the easier thing to do. Instead, I ask, if you could not hold the hand of the person who put stars in your heart or were cast a look of distaste for simply expressing yourself in a way that feels like art. If you did not have the freedom to kiss the one you love, in front of all those who knew, then you would be marching too, wouldn't you?"

-Courtney Peppernell, The Way Back Home
