This collection contains stories and poems written by twenty Black women and girls; it is serendipitous that their voices blend seamlessly, and beautifully, even though the riders are inter-generational. The storytelling crosses local, national, and international cultural sensibilities, giving the reader a glimpse of the way the storytellers receive and share ‘Story.’ The poets cut through emotional lines to caress the reader, just before they unleash a shaft of insight that rattles their consciousness.
