About
"This is a book of (mostly) love poems disguised as straight reporting of a girl's memories of growing up in the South. The girl is being raised by her Black grandmother in the 40s and 50s; there are instances of White prejudice and brutality, but there is also the pure joy [in some of the poems]."--Page [4]
