I feel that it would be inappropriate for me to rate this below 5 stars. Content/trigger warning for racism, depression, anxiety, trauma, rape, murder, neglect, abanding children, incest, sexual assault, pedofillia, religious trauma,

This was a stunning work of literature. Truly stunning, there were moments where my jaw was on the floor because I could hardly process what I was reading. Morrison’s work is awe-inspiring, bringing out a myriad of feelings. Empathy, pity, horror, shame, trauma. It took me a month to finish these 136 pages because it was so hard to bear, and that is why I must read more books like this one. These stories aren’t impossible and they shouldn’t be unknown.
