Book: Jubilee Journey In the sequel to "White Lilacs," 13-year-old Emily Rose travels from Connecticut to Texas to celebrate Juneteenth with her 87-year-old great-grandmother Rose Lee. It's a journey of self-discovery in more ways than one: biracial Emily Rose knows more about her father's French-Canadian family than her mother's African-American heritage, and is puzzling over her sense of identity.
In this compelling continuation of the Jefferson family story, thirteen-year-old Emily Rose visits her extended family in Texas for the first time ever. Emily Rose, who grew up in a biracial family in the northeast, is surprised that racial attitudes are so different in the South. But as she grows closer to her great-grandmother, Rose Lee, and learns more about her African American heritage, Emily Rose discovers a new dimension of herself.
