South End Branch African and African American Authors Hybrid Book Discussion: Welcome to My World by Curtis Bunn

Welcome to My World by Curtis Bunn

Brenda Harris, a former corporate executive in Atlanta who has endured two years of personal tragedies and professional disappointments, believes the world owes her a break.

After an encounter with Rodney Bridges, a homeless man, they forge a deep connection in surprising and inspiring ways, and she realizes there is a whole world out there for her to experience. The path is difficult, but her time with Rodney opens her up to a new world, a world she had dismissed when she lost her job, her husband left her and her dear sister died.

Part of her journey moves her to help Rodney. Through meaningful conversation and dedication, she is able to penetrate the emotional wall Rodney built after his own tragic circumstances sent him onto the streets. They become an unlikely duo—encouraging each other to overcome each of their own obstacles—and slowly a new world emerges.

A moving and powerful story about how inspiration can be found in the unlikeliest places, Welcome to My World also reaffirms that the simplest things in life—like a conversation with a stranger—can lead to life-changing results.
