Description
"Who do you thank you are, the Quane of Anglund?" That's what Grace Marie's father used to say to he whenever he thought she was getting out of her place. In her fifties now, Grace Marie is a college professor living in a beach town in California. When she gets a phone call telling her that her father is dead, she is glad. She hopes he return for his funeral will be her "last trip home." As a young girl, Grace Marie struggled to escape from poverty, her father's lecherous, controlling grip, and a husband in the Klan. Determined to get an education, she clawed he way to a comfortable life and a home with indoor toilets, but her most unexpected struggle turned out to be survivor's guilt, so she kept returning home to "fix" her family and the sharecropper shack. After her father's funeral, Grace Marie burns down the family home-- only to discover that she has unexpected ties to both the land and the people in her community. She realizes she will never have a "last trip home."
