Sometimes you have to learn to trust the currents in life to become who you were always meant to be.

Book Quotes

“Words are cathedrals for ideas, Addie Mae. Each time we open a book, we enter a door to a sacred space where fresh truths are born.”

“Sometimes the only hope that exists is the one we create for ourselves.”

“My mind was flooded with questions and fears, but my heart or soul, or whatever was braver that lived deep inside of me kept whispering quite calmly . . . go.”

“Sometimes only by looking back on something can we see its grandeur, what it gave us. Moments become monuments that create new beginnings.”

“Happy voices rode the soft kitchen light, spilling down worn plank steps onto ready ground like rushing water over river rocks.”

Editorial Praise

While Pollio admirably asks "what right did I have to tell a black southern woman's story?" her saga holds surprising power, at times approaching the grandeur of The Color Purple and Beloved with the insights of a delightful wise-child narrator. Gorgeous imagining of a touching, memorable guiding spirit.

—Kirkus Reviews

“Gripping, lyrical story about a young girl coming of age… this simple, affecting tale of Addie Mae's life is engrossing. Religion, culture, and family blend together seamlessly in this haunting and refreshing story."

—Publishers Weekly

The voices in Trusting the Currents refuse to be muted as they bring us face to face across the divides of race, class, religion. This is a powerful story that is an offering, a revival, benediction, altar, and a powerful calling for the return of all long-obscured matriarchs. All praises for Trusting the Currents....enlightening, and highly evolved.

—Jaki Shelton Green,
North Carolina Poet Laureate

Reader Reviews

“This is a book that will redefine how you think about life - your own and others - as well as how you define beauty of the human spirit. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.”

“I'm an English Anglican parish priest who yearns for a greater degree of openness to all of the rich and diverse spiritual and philosophical traditions of our world. Trusting the Currents is packed cover to cover with a marvelous and extraordinary prose poetry that resonated in me rather in the way that Mary Oliver's or May Sarton's does.”

“This is a powerfully woven masterpiece of love, faith, wisdom and humanity; a life well lived that certainly will touch the soul of all who read it. I will place this book right next to my copy of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, among my collection of often-reviewed favorites.”
