    South Toward Home - Tales of an Unlikely Journey
    Product Details

    Southerners love to tell stories. In these twenty-six stories, Alice Joyner Irby recalls her blessed yet turbulent life in and out of the South.

    Her childhood adventures begin in the 1930s on the Roanoke River in Weldon, a close-knit town in Northeastern North Carolina, where she and her brother, George, kept Granny’s boarding house lively with pranks on customers and neighborhood playmates.

    Every decade brought unforeseen opportunities, painful disruptions, and life-altering choices—from the controversial McCarthy hearings to the heroic school-integration efforts of the 1950s; from the 1960 Greensboro sit-ins when Alice was Director of Admissions at UNCG, to her role within LBJ’s Job Corps in Washington, D.C.

    These were exciting and formative times for the Republic. Alice witnessed all of it—and more.

    Alice’s guiding “celebrities” come to life in South Toward Home. Unconditional love and support from her parents, siblings, and daughter enabled her journey and sustained her resilience.

    Alice may have been an upstart daredevil who climbed the sheer walls of success in a man’s world, but this young Southern woman never entirely left behind the open-hearted, unpretentious people of Halifax County—or the black-delta banks of the timeless Roanoke River.
