In 1946, Sally Werner, the teenage daughter of hardscrabble Pennsylvania farmers, experiences something between rape and seduction at the hands of her cousin, resulting in a baby, family shame, and her running away. Each time Sally feels her past catching up with her, she follows the Tuskee River, finds a new town and assumes a new identity, eventually graduating from taking the charity--and more--of others to supporting herself. Her story is pieced together years later by her granddaughter, also named Sally, and a man who believes himself to be the infant she abandoned.

Work Description
On a summer day in 1946 Sally Werner, the precocious young daughter of hardscrabble Pennsylvania farmers, secretly accepts her cousin's invitation to ride his new motorcycle. Like so much of what follows in Sally's life, it's an impulsive decision with dramatic and far-reaching consequences. Soon she abandons her home to begin a daring journey of self-creation, the truth of which she entrusts only with her granddaughter and namesake, six decades later. But when young Sally's father--a man she has never known--enters her life and offers another story altogether, she must uncover the truth of her grandmother's secret history. Boldly rendered and beautifully told, in FOLLOW ME Joanna Scott has crafted a paean to the American tradition of re-invention and a sweeping saga of timeless and tender storytelling.
