Dinner & A Book - Come This Way

Join me and my guest, Irene Eskridge, as we discuss Come this Way, There is an Exit by Nimbilasha Cushing.  We’ll prepare a southern breakfast as we learn about the life of a young sharecropper from the South on Dinner and a Book.

The title of this book, “Come This way, There is an Exit,” by South Bend resident, Nimbilasha Cushing, is a self-published book about her life in the South in the 1950’s. The title is about finding  a way out of her life of poverty as a sharecropper’s daughter in Tennessee during the 1950’s. She lost her mother at an early age, was raised by her grandparents, faced Deep South prejudice as an African-American child and picked cotton out in the hot fields by the age of 6. My guest Irene Eskridge and I will prepare a southern breakfast, so let’s get started.
