Eleven-year-old Delphine and her younger sisters, Vonetta and Fern, travel to Oakland to meet their mother, Cecil, who abandoned their family years earlier. But even when Cecil gets them to her house, she shows no interest and seems to view them as nothing but a nuisance.
Cecil’s cold, unloving attitude leaves the girls wishing for the mother-daughter connection they’ve never had. But Cecil acts remarkably different after she sees her daughters at the Black Panther rally, where they recite a poem Cecil herself had written. At that point, Cecil’s attitude toward her daughters begins a remarkable change.

I thought the author did a great job explaining the life of a young black girls without a mother. Some of the reasons why she didn’t get a full 5 stars was because I thought that her wording was a little bit off. I like that she involved other people’s life, like Janice and Eunice, Crazy Kelvin included. Overall, she makes it clear that people can change and that being black girls without a mother nearby is hard. She did a wonderful job, and I highly recommend reading this extraordinary, hopeful book.😁
