Moving forward and backward in time, with the power of poetry and the emotional richness of a narrative ten times its length, Jacqueline Woodson's extraordinary new novel uncovers the role that history and community have played in the experiences, decisions, and relationships of these families and in the life of this child. As the book open in 2001, it is the evening of sixteen-year-old Melody's coming-of-age ceremony in her grandparents' Brooklyn brownstone. Watched lovingly by her relatives and friends, making her entrance to the soundtrack of Prince, she wears a special custom-made dress. But the event is not without poignancy. Sixteen years earlier, that very dress was measured and sewn for a different wearer: Melody's mother, for her own ceremony - a celebration that ultimately never took place. Unfurling the history of Melody's parents and grandparents to show how they all arrived at this moment, Woodson considers not just their ambitions and successes but also the costs, the tolls they've paid for striving to overcome expectations and escape the pull of history. As it explores sexual desire and identity, ambition, gentrification, education, class and status, and the life-altering facts of parenthood, Red at the Bone most strikingly looks at the ways in which young people must so often make long-lasting decisions about their lives - even before they have begun to figure out who they are and what they want to be. -- $c From dust jacket. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Brooklyn (New York, N.Y.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Pregnancy. 650 0 $a African Americans. 650 0 $a Mother and child. 650 0 $a Women. 650 1 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 02 $a Pregnancy 650 12 $a Black or African American 650 12 $a Family 650 12 $a Mother-Child Relations 650 22 $a Women 650 6 $a MeÌres et filles $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Noires ameÌricaines $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Familles noires ameÌricaines $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Familles $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Grossesse. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains. 650 6 $a Familles. 650 6 $a MeÌre et enfant. 650 6 $a Femmes. 650 7 $a pregnancy. $2 aat 650 7 $a African American. $2 aat 650 7 $a women (female humans) $2 aat 650 7 $a FICTION $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Women $2 fast 650 7 $a Pregnancy $2 fast 650 7 $a Mother and child $2 fast 650 7 $a African American families $2 fast 650 7 $a African American women $2 fast 650 7 $a African Americans $2 fast 650 7 $a Families $2 fast 650 7 $a Mothers and daughters $2 fast 651 7 $a New York (State) $z Brooklyn $z Brooklyn $2 fast 650 7 $a Family members. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 650 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 650 7 $a Teenage pregnancy $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Social classes $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Mother-daughter relationship $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Bildungsromans. 655 0 $a Domestic fiction. 655 2 $a Fictional Work 655 7 $a Novels $2 fast 655 7 $a Bildungsromans $2 fast 655 7 $a Domestic fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Historical fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Also issued as: $a Woodson, Jacqueline. $t Red at the bone. $d New York : Riverhead Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House LLC, 2019 $z 0593086414 $z 0593086414 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Woodson, Jacqueline. $t Red at the bone. $d New York : Riverhead Books, 2019 $z 0525535292 $z 0525535292 $w (OCoLC)1120048559 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240129101411.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3E06478EBEAF11EEA36E4455183FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
