After fleeing with her youngest children to New York City in 1957, she finds unlikely friendship with Sister Rose, a church secretary, and Miss \"Raycie\" Rayceen, a boisterous bar singer. These women prove to be the right friends at the right time as they help Drunetta navigate her journey of self-discovery. With a determination uncharacteristic of her time, Drunetta ultimately learns what's worth sacrificing-and, more importantly, what isn't-to secure her place in a changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melody Fowler, Arric Fowler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8215695175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798215695173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Poetic Gems Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Melody Fowler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132418552063,"sku":"9798215695173","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c0569a0-f6a7-44c2-aa6c-b6a3b9f1aaff.jpg?v=1687480085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-we-healed-melody-fowler-9798215695173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
