This is not a book that I think can be read in one sitting. I had to pause and come back so many times. Not just out of sadness or anger but because a phrase, a line, a stanza, a poem hit me in a deep place and I needed a moment or several really. I adore this work.

This book speaks volumes about women who were raised to never speak. Black women who have been trained to use their bodies as language, or it will be used for them. This entire book had me deep in thought and sometimes overcome with emotion.
