[From Back cover] One Man’s African is Another’s Alien...Cecelia Freedom, the young, feisty, free-spirited African-American heroine of Homeward Bound, wears her hair in a dreadlocks fashion. A political statement that doubles as an expression of her African ancestry. CorrineFreedom, a successful African-American woman of Creole background and mother of Cecelia, is the maker of Freedom Relaxer, a product whose social symboi-especially in the Black community-puts mother anddaughter in seperate political camps. Prince Ita is gentle, and African. He is Cecelia's love interest. But he is also spoiled and financially, he's in a mess. A condition his enterprising mother back home, Madame Ita, put him into when he disobeyed her and dropped out of college to pursue a fashion modeling career. Richard Krueger is a white surfer-cop type, who still carries a torch for Cecelia, and disclaims any ancestral ties to Africa, even though he was born and bred in Zimbabwe. These characters are all going to the same place. Africa. Nigeria, to be exact. Each on his own agenda… Homeward Bound boldly introduces the reader to a collection of vivid, unforgetable characters, and takes the reader through a hilariously warm but blunt journey through the fascinating world of a segment of today's society often ignored or underexposed in contemporary literature. Author's first novel.
