Walking Gentry Home: A Memoir of My Foremothers in Verse by Alora Young

4.0

Alora Young traces her lineage back to a slave and a slave owner. Each of her foremothers have stories and through researching her family has found information of each of them. She writes poems to honor these mothers and chronicles her family's curse of women getting pregnant and married too young. It is a tough but necessary read.
