In Her First Life

Where Was God on May 15, 1974?

In Her First Life, Pulitzer-nominated novel by former Oprah guest author, Gene Cartwright
She was only 12, poor pregnant and abandoned when her first life ended.


From Ms. Cicely Tyson,
Gene’s late friend film icon, to whom this book is dedicated.

“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.”

—Cicely Tyson
