Description
In a Northern city, fourteen-year-old Louretta “Lou” Hawkins feels profoundly alone—until her search for belonging turns into a deeper recognition of herself and her people. As she moves through the pressures of family life, the tensions of school, and the shifting dynamics of her community, Lou confronts the conflicts that shape her identity and tests the bonds that might finally hold. With warmth, realism, and emotional immediacy, this novel explores coming-of-age, cultural self-discovery, and the resilience required to claim one’s place in the world. Kristin Hunter’s distinctive, character-driven storytelling brings Lou’s inner life to the forefront, making her journey both intimate and widely resonant.
