This heartfelt tale chronicles the Bloomfield family's gripping and unceasing struggle against the twin cycles of poverty and racism, exacerbated by the family matriarch's ongoing battle with depression, a debilitating and stigmatized illness, that was even less understood in the 1960s than it is today. Stairs to Yonder is the third installment in Mary Flowers Carter's riveting series, The Bloomfield Legacy, continuing from where the first two books, A New Birth, and Streets of Ferry, leave off. This new addition to the trilogy takes the reader on an exciting journey of discovery with the eldest Bloomfield daughter, Mae Etta, as she leaves her family and the small, urban farming community she has always known to find work and opportunities to make her dreams of earning a college degree and becoming a teacher a reality. Along the way, Mae Etta will learn the history and challenges faced by those who fought on behalf of the Civil Rights Movement in America; in the process, she will discover that beneath her shy exterior lies the sheer determination and indomitable spirit that has enabled her family to not only survive but thrive, no matter the difficulties encountered or how overwhelming the odds. Though poor by material standards, time and again, the Bloomfields prove themselves to be rich in spiritual gifts.
