Riding through shadows / Sharon Ewell Foster. by Foster, Sharon Ewell. Multnomah, c2001. Call #: FICTION FOS Subjects Girls, Black -- Fiction.   Nineteen sixties -- Fiction.   Civil rights movements -- Fiction.   Southern States -- Fiction. ISBN:  1576738078 (pbk.) Description:  333 p. ; 21 cm. Summary:  "The story of a troubled African American child, Shirley Ferris, coming of age in East St. Louis and Alabama in the 1960s; and also of her adult self, a single mother coping with providing for her children in the mid-1980s. Young Shirley is most of the story. An exceptionally bright girl, she is plagued with a long-suffering, manic-depressive mother who teeters on insanity. Young Shirley herself is deeply depressed, imagining a playmate she calls the "little bad girl" as well as various demons who strive to kill her natural joyousness, until finally she withdraws into a disturbed silence. She's rescued by an earth mother, called "Mother." Mother's humor, down-to-earth spirituality, and boundless love begin Shirley's long road to healing."--Booklist. Genre:  Black fiction. Christian fiction. Bildungsromans.
