All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley's Sack, a Black Family Keepsake by Tiya Miles

5.0

this book really set the tone for me for what I will now expect or at least hope for when I read a work that engages with archival material. sensitively and compassionately told and researched, this book explores the legacy of Ashley's sack and the people and culture it exists in. this book taught me new things about my home state and moved me emotionally. I've never read anything quite like this, and I really hope to read more.
