I loved this more than All About Love, and I found this one was a lot less judgemental and a lot kinder in a way. Hook's reflection on growing up and later returning to Kentucky, her thoughts about race and class, gentrification... It was all excellent but why I would re-read these essays is probably because of the ones about her grandmother Baba's quilts. They were moving, important, I wanted to see them, I learned about crazy quilts and their history and origin - from enslaved women - and they reminded me about f quilters I know and love.
