My Mother’s Story

“Leaving Henry” is set against the hauntingly beautiful backdrop of rural Tennessee in the 1930s, where the sun-drenched fields whisper tales of hardship and resilience. Ella Ridley, a spirited African-American girl, perceives from a tender age that the oppressive South stifles her dreams and aspirations. With every flicker of hope, Ella envisions a world beyond the dusty roads and faded dreams that surround her. Though she grapples with the harsh realities of poverty and countless setbacks, her indomitable spirit remains unshaken, propelling her toward a future where she can truly be free! This is my mother’s story. She spent the first 13 years of her life focused on leaving the South in search of a better life. Now at 98 years old, my mother is thrilled to share her story!
