Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson

I could rave endlessly about all the ways that Jacqueline Woodson’s writing impresses me—the unparalleled prose, the depth of character, the lyricism woven throughout—but in the end, what always blows me away is how viscerally her books allow me to feel their events and emotions. Here, each alternating character, telling the story of an evolving family through times of love and conflict, resonates with depth and humanity. This is another masterful work that you’ll be drawn to read over and over.
