Freddie's Journey: A Place of Being

For author Freddie Wright Grice, moving from her home of forty-four years in Washington, DC, to Greensboro, North Carolina, at the age of seventy-three was a milestone in her quiet life. Her home that she purchased in November of 1961 held many memories of joyous occasions. Freddie prayed God would help her find a solution. In Freddie s Journey: A Place of Being, Grice narrates her life story against the backdrop of her home from its purchase, to its renovations, and the important role it played in her family s life. This memoir also includes a family history and shares anecdotes about Grice s work as a nurse, her love of travel, and her active membership in her local church. Through trials and tribulations, Grice tells about the decision to leave her home and Washington, DC, to move to North Carolina to be close to her son and his family. Grice shares how she feels safe and has found peace and quiet in her new community.
