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

4.0

4 stars.

My stepsister (who read over 200 books in 2023) gave this book the honor of the title favorite read of the year, so obviously, I had to put it at the top of my TBR.

This is a heavy book. It dives into racial history, female customs, patriarchy, familial ties, and honor, and without question, the weight of slavery on inheritance, specifically for women.

I really enjoyed this book and the narrator was phenomenal.
