Echo's story started out really strong for me but it did slow up a bit and I can't say all the magical realism regarding wizardry flowed right with me the whole time. I did get a little teary eyed quite a bit though. Definitely a kind of coming of age story and I love the message this sends about Black womanhood as being it's own struggle on top of the struggle of being a Black American. 

"You gotta fight. You got ta keep goin' ta keep it off ya. If ya keep goin', stay spirited and stay up, it'a stay away from ya, okay? It needs you to be sinkin' inside befo' it come around."
~April, Echo's mother
