These are stories about family, about trauma, about the space we fill with those we love and the secrets we hold for them. Set mostly in West Texas, the short story collection grapples with themes like systemic racism, deep disappointment, and dysfunctional relationships, but amidst it all, there is also room for joy and love. A brilliant collection of stories of the Black experience with a steady voice and a strong point of view, and a reminder that we are not only borne of the choices we make, but of the world that forced us to make those choices.
