Rush Home Road Book by Lori Lansens

Adelaide Shadd was born in Southwestern Ontario in the first decade of the 20th century in all-black town settled by fugitive slaves. Forced to flee her beloved Rusholme as a teenager, the place will call to her for the rest of her life. Now an old woman, she lives a quiet existence in a trailer park not far from her birthplace, until her whole world is turned upside down when five-year-old Sharla Cody is abandoned on her doorstep. Sharla helps Addy to open a door to her past, find forgiveness, and finally make the journey home again.
