Libertie by Kaitlyn Greenidge


What does it mean to be free? Who gets to decide the terms of that freedom? These questions are masterfully and thoughtfully woven throughout Libertie. The book’s central mother-daughter relationship is handled with honesty as young Libertie yearns for the freedom to figure out her own way in life. Libertie is filled with song, uncertainly, death, care, myths, jealousy, and with real human emotions and flaws. It is an impressive work of fiction.
