Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez
5.0
This book was stunning.
Take My Hand follows a young black nurse who fights to protect two young and mistreated black girls from a system that harms them under the false impression of helping.
Based on true events during 1970s America, Dolen Perking-Valdez creates a rich and compelling story, filled with incredible characters that I grew so attached to.
The writing is immersive and addictive, and it sheds light on an area of history which I'd never heard anything about before.
Touching, informative and unflinching in its honesty. I absolutely loved this book and will definitely read more from this author.
