Marriette Rob Ritchey

From the grassy plains of West Africa to the Lincoln Memorial, this novel takes you on the journey of Marriette LaFleur Roy, PhD, spanning a contemporary lifetime from 1972 to the present. When young Marriette leaves her anthropology studies site in West Ghana to return to the States, she does so without the man she loves . . . and with a trauma that she had hoped to leave behind. But post-traumatic stress follows her home, changing her research plans, personal life, and the lives of those around her in ways that she had never anticipated. A beautifully written tale of truth, wisdom and, above all else, hope that shows there is a path toward healing and recovery.
