Another Brooklyn

Authors are encouraged to capture their voices; this book doesn't just capture voice, it speaks for every Black girl living on the edge of poverty as she tries to grow into a young lady.

A book filled with death. Yet beautifully addressed. A PhD anthropologist who studies death in various cultures comes home to Brooklyn to nurse her father in the last stage of cancer and we learn her back story of loss.

I feel like I've been missing out on Woodson's work. After reading this, I need to read everything she's written.
