The Peach Seed by Anita Gail Jones

3.0

A pretty good story of a family through generations. It jumps between narrators which at times is a fault of the narrative. The main character is Fletcher a 70ish man who was a black man and a part of the civil rights movement. He dated a girl who moved away and she had a child who she gave up. Fletcher went on to marry and have 3 girls. 1 had a son named bo D who is close to his grandfather Fletcher. Bo D is struggling with drug addiction. Fletcher has lost his wife when his old girlfriend moves back home. It comes to light that there was a child given up and he wants to meet the family. The story also travels back in time to Malik who was kidnapped from his home in Senegal and sold into slavery. He was the start of a tradition of making monkeys out of peach stones. This is a theme throughout the book. A good story.
