About this book

Alora Young traces the women in her family through a memoir written in verse. Rooted in West Tennessee, the poems connect ancestors missing from historical records with her great-grandmother Gentry, later generations and her own girlhood. Family memory, limited opportunities and the expectations placed on Black girls shape her effort to recover these lives.
