Unloose My Heart

A Personal Reckoning with the Twisted Roots of My Southern Family Tree

Beschreibung

A deeply personal memoir that unearths a family history of racism, slaveholding, and trauma as well as love and sparks of delight. More than a memoir set against the backdrop of Jim Crow and the civil rights struggle, this is the work of a woman of conscience writing in the twenty-first century.
