If you're looking for a coming of age book to complete a square in your @metrolibraryok #WinterReading #BookBingo, this is the one you should pick up." —@"This story was not what I expected. I mean this in a good way! The story is told from 10-year-old KB ’s point of view. The story for me picks up once KB and her 14-year-old sister Nia are dropped off by their mother at their grandfather’s house in Lansing for the summer. Neither of the girls know when their mom will come back.
Kenyatta Bernice and her older sister Nia are sent to stay with their estranged grandfather in Lansing, MI after they lose the family home in Detroit and their mother enters a treatment program for depression following their father’s drug overdose. The story is told from KB’s perspective, as she tries to repair her broken family and survive the challenges life throws her way.
This is a beautiful and heart-wrenching coming of age story. It's an adult novel but told from the point of view of an eleven-year-old narrator. Her voice is engaging, warm, and funny.
