From Essence bestselling author Curtis Bunn comes a moving novel about a
down and out corporate executive whose unexpected encounter with a
stranger inspires her to reinvent her life.Brenda Harris, a former
corporate executive in Atlanta, has endured two years of personal
tragedies and professional disappointments--she believes the world owes
her a break. After an encounter with a homeless man, forging a deep
connection in surprising and inspiring ways, she realizes there is a
whole world out there for her to experience. Rodney Bridges, the
homeless man, helps her begin her journey of self-discovery. 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.
