What We Found Along the Way

What We Found Along the Way is a story of discovery, memory, and the power of shared journeys. Through winding roads, small towns, and unexpected detours, Cathy R. and Mary R. Foreman uncover pieces of history, hidden beauty, and the quiet truths that shape a life.

For generations, many Black stories have been lost - unrecorded as elders passed on. These road trips became more than adventures; they became a way to preserve a living history. In the spirit of the Green Book, the authors record the present while reclaiming the past, gathering family stories, cultural memory, and personal reflection along the way.

Blending humor, warmth, and the unshakable bond between a mother and daughter, this book reminds us that some of the most important destinations are the ones we stumble upon by chance. Each chapter invites readers to slow down, look closer, and remember that the most meaningful stops are the ones where we learn, grow, and love along the way.

Poignant and deeply human, What We Found Along the Way is more than a travel memoir. It is an inheritance of stories, a celebration of resilience, and a reminder that the road itself often carries the answers we seek.

For readers who believe in the power of family, memory, and adventure, this book is an invitation to find your own meaning in the places - and people - you encounter along the way.
