Description
Red Dust Road takes you on a journey from Scotland to Nigeria, exploring the complexities of identity and belonging. Born into a Communist family in 1970s Scotland, Jackie Kay's adopted mixed-race background shaped her early life as a poet.
In this deeply personal memoir, Kay recounts her search for her birth parents, tracing her roots through music, culture, and family history. Along the way, she reflects on the ways in which our experiences are forged by the stories we hear and the people we meet.
