Thank you partner @bibliolifestyle and @harpermusebooks for a spot on tour and a gifted book.
In this intimate portrait of two generations, a granddaughter and a grandmother come to terms with what it means to be family, Black women, and alive in a world on fire.
๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค:
The world is burningโand Corrine will do anything to put out the flames. After her brother died aboard an oil boat on the Mississippi River in 2013, Corrine awakened to the realities of climate change and its perpetrators. Now, a year later, she finds herself trapped in a lonely cycle of mourning both her brother and the very planet she stands on. Sheโs convinced that in order to save her future, she has to make sure that her brotherโs life meant something. But in the act of honoring her brotherโs spirit, she resurrects family ghosts she knows little aboutโghosts her grandmother Cora knows intimately.
The world is burningโbut it always has been. Coraโs ghosts have followed her from her days as a child integrating schools in 1950s Nashville to her new life as a mother, grandmother, and teacher in Mississippi. As a child of the civil rights movement, sheโs done her best to keep those specters away from her granddaughter. She faced those demons, she reasons to herself, so that Corinne would never know they existed.
When Corrineโs plan to stage a dramatic act of resistance peels back the scabs of her family wounds and puts her safety in jeopardy, both grandยญmother and granddaughter must bring their unspoken secrets into the light to find a path to healing. Their world hangs in the balance as past and future meet in the present moment.
In heartfelt, lyrical prose, Mary Annaรฏse Heglar weaves an unforgettable story of the climate crisis, Black resistance, and the enduring power of family.
