One Blood by Denene Millner
5.0

4.5 ⭐️ To keep it short, if you have a black grandmother, read the book; if you have a black mother, read the book; if you have a black daughter, READ THE BOOK! If you’re interested in getting a glimpse or a little understanding of the plight of black women in any way, shape, or form, READ THE BOOOKKKKK!

This thing was TOOOOO SEASONED!

“I wrote this story for my mother and the Black women of her generation, who were led to believe that their very survival was wholly dependent on their being mothers and wives, and that this should be the sole source of their ambition—even as American racism conspired to stop Black women like my mother from stepping into and succeeding at those very roles.” Denene Millner
