This book was beautiful and so tender. It gave insight into the inner workings of how older black men from the south think and shed a big light on generational curses. It speaks on how important knowledge is, how knowledge allows us to look around, and realize we do have enough room to grow and change our minds. We're not limited to the narratives given to us as children. a real tear jerker!!

Beautiful story. It hit so hard. It’s just a bit slow at times.
