Break Any Woman Down by Dana Johnson

4.0

Johnson succeeds where so many other short-story writers fail: She writes eight first-person narrators, each with a distinct voice. These stories -- told from the point of view of black women both young and old -- capture the thoughts and feelings of people simply trying to get by. It's not desperation that drives them forward, but the desire to find out who they really are.
