Calling Me Home
by Julie Kibler
Women tell their hairdressers some things that they don't even tell their best friends. Hairdressers claim that nothing their clients say shocks them. Whatever relationships exist between client and hairdresser, they rarely extend beyond scheduled salon appointments. Dorrie Curtis and Isabelle McAllister, however, develop an unconventional friendship exceeding age and race.
In a novel spanning 70 years, "Calling Me Home" gives intimate insights into multiple interracial relationships. On a road trip from Arlington to Cincinnati in order to attend a funeral, Isabelle and Dorrie reveal more of their pasts to each other. As time on the road progresses, both women's stories come to light. While Dorrie is worried about her new beau being "too good to be true," we see firsthand her daily encounters and dismissals based on her skin color. We learn that Isabelle grew up the daughter of a doctor in a home where the color of your skin determined if you were able to be in town after sundown.
