SUMMARY - Set against the backdrop of rural Maryland, CHESAPEAKE SONG tells the unforgettable story of three indomitable African-American women.....Tamra and Charles Lane have known they were meant for each other ever since they were kids. But past hurts and doubts about the future have taken a toll on their thirteen-year marriage. Seeking answers, Tamra leaves Maryland for New York and embarks on a spiritual journey into her past. As she grapples with a decision that could change her life forever, she draws strength from the experiences of the women in her family: her mother, Virginia Henry, who struggled to make a better life for herself and her daughter; and her grandmother, Big Mama, the proud matriarch who held her family together when everything else was falling apart...... Weaving between the past and the present, CHESAPEAKE SONG moves across three generations and a world of changing times and values. Resonating with drama and passion, it is a novel by a stunning new voice in contemporary fiction--a richly rewarding story of family, love and sacrifice...and the powerful ties that bind.
