Book Synopsis
The actress Uzo Aduba came of age grappling with a master juggling act:as one of few Black families in their white Massachusetts suburb, she and hersiblings were the unexpected presence in whatever school room or sports teamthey joined. But Aduba was also rooted by a fierce and nonnegotiable sense ofbelonging and extraordinary worth that stemmed from her mother's powerfulvision for her children, and their connection to generations of family inNigeria. The alchemy of being out of place yet driven by fearless convictionpowered Aduba to success. The Road Is Good is more than the journey of a youngwoman determined to survive young adulthood - and to create a workableidentity for herself. It is the story of an incredible mother and a testamentto matriarchal power. When Aduba's mother falls ill, the origin of her ownpower crystallizes and Aduba leaps into a caretaker role, uniquely prepared bythe history and tools her mother passed along to become steward of herancestoral legacy. Deeply mini
