This was just wonderful. So many different perspectives, interconnected yet their own, generational, and such real characters and real stories. This is the epitome of "something doesn't have to be relatable to be good" (for me, as a 20-something white NB that is).
Graphic: Child death, Racism, and Rape
Moderate: Transphobia and Homophobia
Minor: Alcoholism
Carole 2 contains an absolutely devastating description of the gang rape of a 13 yr old girl.
