About Back Home

Even though eight-year-old Ernestine lives with her family up North, “back home” is Lumberton, North Carolina, the place where she was born and where her mama grew up. From the moment she steps off the train, Ernestine feels right at home in the lush, green countryside, working on the family farm, and spending time with her aunt, uncle, and cousins. This nostalgic, sweetly humorous visit home–based on Gloria Pinkney’s own childhood memories–is perfect for intergenerational sharing.
