Most (if not all) triggering content is only mentioned briefly in this book--in possibilities, in truths, in the complexities. It is mostly a reconstruction of the lost stories of Black women and queer people of the early 20th century, and an examination of why those stories are "lost" in the first place. Expect any content that may be wrapped up in that.
