A powerful, timely memoir of Black immigrant identity, maternal love, and a unique coming-of-age story by Emmy-winning star of

The Residence and Orange Is the New Black Uzo Aduba.

Actress Uzo Aduba - known for Emmy-winning roles in Orange Is the New Black, Mrs. America and the Netflix hit The Residence - grew up in one of the few Black families in a white Massachusetts suburb. But she and her siblings were also grounded by a fierce sense of belonging and worth that stemmed from their mother's powerful vision for her children, and by their connection to generations of family in Nigeria. The alchemy of being out of place yet driven by fearless conviction powered Uzo to success - and fuels her intimate and inspiring memoir.

Deeply mining her family history and the gripping tales handed down to her by her mother, aunts and uncles, Uzo weaves together a moving story filled with guiding lessons that are both personal and profoundly universal. Framed by two powerful turning points - Uzo's mother's illness and her eventual death - The Road Is Good is both a story of a young woman determined to survive early adulthood and create an identity for herself, and a testament to matriarchal power and the guiding light of maternal love.
