What a powerful book this is. These stories are so real and powerful. It felt like when you sit in a beauty salon, listening to older woman gossip and tell tales of their childhood. I strongly recomend everyone give this book a read. As this book does an amazing job at creating characters who are shamelessly strong women of color.
