   Avey Johnson, a middle-aged African American widow, embarks on a journey of self-discovery during a Caribbean cruise with friends. Feeling disconnected and restless, she decides to leave the ship in Grenada and joins an annual pilgrimage to the island of Carriacou, where she reconnects with her African heritage and confronts her past. Through flashbacks and memories, the protagonist grapples with her identity, the loss of her husband, and the assimilation into a suburban life that has left her feeling empty. Paule Marshall weaves a narrative that delves into themes of roots, heritage, and the complexities of self-discovery.
