From the Publisher:
Delana has never known her parents. Raised by her aunt and a reclusive grandfather, Delana has lived a sheltered existence, nurtured on her aunt's wild family stories. But when her aunt dies, Delana embarks on a quest to unravel the truth. This moving fictional story is imagined from real antique photographs. | |
Annotation:
Set in early 20th-century West Virginia, this beautifully detailed story about the history of a well-to-do African American family was inspired by author Tonya Bolden's collection of vintage photographs, which are scattered throughout the book. Twelve-year-old Delana lives with her great aunt Tilley and distant grandfather in the town of Charleston. Raised on fascinating family tales, Delana struggles to find out what was true when her aunt dies. Becoming closer to her grandfather, she unravels the stories and discovers moving personal history that helps her find her way. Bolden is also the author of 33 THINGS EVERY GIRL SHOULD KNOW and FDR'S ALPHABET SOUP.
