Shannon Sanders with Shannon Perri
The book opens with the fictional Collins Family Tree, handwritten by Sanders’s own mother, priming the reader for the intimacy of the words to come. Yet paired with that intimacy are characters concerned with the role perception may play as they strive to forge their path in a world that’s not always welcoming. The characters in this collection are either members of the Collins Family, a multigenerational Black family spread across the Northeast, or in their orbit.
