Harold Smith is an 82 year old Mississippian who comes from a long line of klansmen who were taught whites were the superior race.  Like many people, Smith's father justified his hatred for "coloreds" by citing the Bible.  Harold hoped to pass this legacy on to his children, but his wife, Abigail, was unable to conceive.  While rocking in his mahogany chair, Harold suffers a stroke, and is taken on a spiritual journey.  It is a journey that we all must take; a journey that "...will take you places you wish you never encountered..."  Will Harold reconcile his past or will the pain be too unbearable?"Zion's Road:  A Love Story About Faith And Redemption", by Imani Wisdom, is a modern-day interpretation of the path to Zion - God's spiritual refuge.  Wisdom takes us on a fascinating journey that causes you to question everything you've been taught about the afterlife.  Through her characters and story you will experience every emotion imaginable.  I found myself smiling in one moment and almost in tears the next.  Wisdom is a gifted storyteller who masterfully weaves a believable tale of love, loss, faith and redemption.  She makes it clear that each of us must face our past.  How we respond to our journey will dictate our path and outcome.  I look forward to reading other works by this intriguing author!
