In Her First Life

From the late, Ms. cicely Tyson:"I have not been so moved by a story, since reading Alex's [Haley] book [Roots]. When the film is made, I'm laying claim to the role of Aunt Rose."Where was God on May 15, 1974? On a sweltering 104 degree May 15, 1974, in rural Reedville, Arkansas, 12-year-old Deborah Yvonne Davis lived the last day of her first life. This second daughter of a poor Baptist preacher walked home along dusty, pine tree-lined dusty Crispus Attucks Road unaware of what lay ahead. And there was no one there to rescue her-not even God Almighty. When the sun rose that morning, Deborah was a precocious, bright-eyed, gregarious woman-child on the cusp of teenage-hood and in love with life. Despite the turmoil raging in the larger world around her, and the struggles of her family and fellow residents in the Sticks, she looked to the future. Then, her world changed.About a mile from the Sticks, three miles from Reedville proper?
