Help Me to Find My People: The African American Search for Family Lost in Slavery by Heather Andrea Williams

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

It's a heavy book, only because the topic is heavy, but something we can all relate to. It's written with love, and longing for connection, bringing up several questions that it can't answer, and was never meant to. I'm going to be thinking about this book, and those questions for a long time, I'm sure.5/5 Everyone should read.
