I always find when I read bell hooks I am struck how she provides insight that I feel is often missing in difficult conversations about race. She is is so straight forward and up front but also does not fall into dichotomies. so powerful.

I'm fascinated by books about home, the landscapes and places we belong to. Here, hooks chronicles her relationship with Kentucky, growing up as a hillbilly in the racially integrated green hills of the backcountry, her family history, how she left/escaped and tried to learn to live other places, and eventually, to her great surprise, moved back - and eventually died there. It's a series of essays she mostly published other places, over many years, and gathered together in a collection.

really wonderful reflections about home, nature, and place. i liked the repetitive nature of writing in some of the essays — felt like being in hook’s mind, where your brain keeps turning the same thought over and over.
