Description
Pauline only wanted love and happiness in her marriage. Instead, she and her six, soon to be seven, children suffered abuse. The choice shes about to make may free them from death-but will it cost her everything else?
In the rural South in the mid-twentieth century, men hold sway. Pauline-Hendrix Shore lives with her husband, Clyde, in Pittsboro, North Carolina. Clydes abuses running rampant, Pauline is running out of options. She reaches out for help with the local Sheriffs office, but her crying pleas fell on deaf ears. With six children to care for and another on the way, Pauline takes matters in her own hands, changing the course of her future forever. When the dust settles, Pauline will make history: one of the only women in North Carolina to fatally shoot a man without being charged with murder. This landmark case, for all its tragedy, will become one of the most important in state history-and in Paulines own family.
Clyde Jeanette Shore spins a masterful tale of her own familys true history that is engaging, poignant, and essential for understanding womens rights in Chatham County. Named for the road that runs by the tobacco farm where she grew up, Chicken Bridge Road is filled with Shores memories and heritage.
For fans of The Color Purple and Bastard out of Carolina, Chicken Bridge Road is a cant-miss drama that centers the focus on women, family, and the true meaning of justice.
