Growing up in the countryside of Ohio, she listened to her family's stories and knew that words held extraordinary magic. From her childhood years discovering her love for storytelling, to her early adult life honing her craft in the city, Virginia found her voice in her writing as she began a career defined by her roots. Through interconnected poems, this moving biography celebrates the remarkable life of the highly decorated and much beloved Virginia Hamilton. It's a stunning tribute to a girl who dared to dream-and inspired those after her to do the same.
