- Synopsis
- This dramatic sequel to Johnnie Come Lately “masterfully weaves the story of the Kitchen family, capturing a vivid snapshot of the American South” (Eastern New Mexico News). Johnnie Kitchen is finally living her dream, attending college and writing a column for the local paper. She adores her husband Dale, their Chocolate Labrador, and their comfortable home in the small town of Portion in North Texas. With their three children nearly grown and thriving, all seems well with the world. But Johnnie is rattled when her youngest boy Cade goes to fight in Afghanistan. The less frequent his emails, the more she frets for his safety. And on the home front, Johnnie learns that Portion is not the forward-thinking town she believed. A young man—inflamed by a liberal bumper sticker and the sight of Johnnie’s black friend Whit—commits a racial attack on them. Writing about the incident in her column, Johnnie soon learns the untold stories of Portion’s shameful history. More tears and triumphs will follow, as Johnnie’s eyes are opened to both man’s capacity for hate and the power of love and forgiveness.
