stevia333k's review against another edition
4.5
4.5
I read this book so I could attend a bookclub. I liked "all boys aren't blue" by this author, so mood.
I'm not sure how to feel about this one. Like it describes how a family was able to support each other, but at the same time my family experience is so different (granted I'm white & my family broke up, but still. It was nice to hear about different families' histories because my knowledge of the sociology of family within a family is lacking.) I'll probably want to reread this book as I learn more about different family structures & care networks.
The book is about black joy & family with a woman at the head of the "clan". I learned from said bookclub that the police involvement of the family had to do with the police department being a job, and it was nice to hear about a diversity of responses to that sort of thing.
Anyways the aphorisms were cool
