Praised as "exuberantly engaging" by the "Los Angeles Times" and a
"beautiful, beautiful piece of writing" by the "Houston Post,"
acclaimed artist Ntozake Shange brings to life the story of a young
girl's awakening amidst her country's seismic growing pains. Set in
St. Louis in 1957, the year of the Little Rock Nine, Shange's story
reveals the prismatic effect of racism on an American child and her
family. Seamlessly woven into this masterful portrait of an
extended family is the story of Betsey's adolescence, the rush of
first romance, and the sobering responsibilities of approaching
adulthood.
