Across the street around the corner... a road home
Book - 2024
The book Across the Street and Around the Corner: A Road Home by Mary Lea Carroll is a reflective and heartwarming narrative that centers on the power of neighborliness and the simple ways people can make their communities a better place. Written during the COVID-19 lockdown, Carroll draws from her childhood memories in Pasadena and personal experiences to illustrate the importance of community bonds and small acts of kindness. Through anecdotes about her interactions with neighbors, family, and local events, she invites readers to see the joy and value in connecting with those around them, even in challenging times.
