My God. HEAVY in all ways!! The second person perspective immersed me into the narrative and kept me engrossed, particularly through the painful moments. I wanted to weep for EVERYBODY. The black body was praised, abused, exalted, punished… and it truly reflects reality. Kiese's story is pervasive throughout the black community. And I just want us to HEAL.
