Don't Cry for Me
by Daniel Black
Wow, truly blown away by how amazing and beautiful this book is. Definitely had me tearing up throughout. I enjoyed that this book was just from Jacob’s POV because we get to hear all of his thoughts and experiences uninterrupted. One of the lines that stuck with me throughout the book was “Many of them (fathers) were handed so little, yet we expected so much. They gave more then they had, but less then we needed” Daniel Black does such a great job at humanizing Jacob and of showing how parents try their best but they can only do from what they were taught and experienced especially during a time when black boys were made to not feel or express feelings.
Such an amazing read and I saw in one of his interviews that he’s working on Issac’s response so I can’t wait until we get that!
