Amazing read! A beautiful contemplation on race, womanhood, motherhood, family, gender, queerness, place, home, and community through the lens of girls, women, and people of color. I couldn't stop reading, and now I really wish I had slowed down. This gorgeous poetic prose deserved to be absorbed in many more sittings than I gave it, but it was just too good.
