Sara's Song, Bolstered by Faith ... A segregated train ride is only the beginning.
As part of the Great Migration, with three children under the age of 4; an infant in arms and a child at each elbow, Sara took a three-day journey on a segregated train from the familiar on the Southside of Chicago to the unfamiliar in Berkeley, California. Her husband Ben waits for them there. After leaving Chicago behind, Sara and Ben Jameson settled into an all-Black South Berkeley working-class neighborhood that sat in the shadow of the affluent East Berkeley Hills. The characters in the Julia Street Series paint a realistic picture of relatable lives full of love, sorrow, joy, friendship, and life lessons in warm nostalgic detail. It is a historical, easy to read, account of the times filled with major milestones and heartaches. Bolstered by hope, defined by dreams, galvanized by grace, and unfettered by fears Sara, and family, like many Black Americans navigated war, social injustice, economic challenges, personal sorrow, harsh life lessons, and opportunities beyond their wildest dreams.
