Description
In this luminous, emotionally resonant novel, a young girl and her family navigate the shifting promises of home, community, and belonging as the world around them changes. Through intimate scenes and carefully observed moments, the story follows how love, memory, and resilience shape identity—especially when the future feels uncertain. Woodson’s lyrical, character-driven style brings depth to themes of family bonds, social change, and the ways people claim space for themselves. Blending tenderness with urgency, the book offers a powerful portrait of growing up while learning what it means to hold on—and to move forward—together.
