When Shane McCrae was three years old, his grandparents kidnapped him and took him to suburban Texas. His mom was white and his dad was Black, and to hide his Blackness from him, his maternal grandparents stole him from his father. In the years that followed, they manipulated and controlled him, refusing to acknowledge his heritage—all the while believing they were doing what was best for him. For their own safety and to ensure the kidnapping remained a success, Shane's grandparents had to make sure that he never knew the full story, so he was raised to participate in his own disappearance. But despite elaborate fabrications and unreliable memories, Shane begins to reconstruct his own story and to forge his own identity. Gradually, the truth unveils itself, and with the truth, comes a path to reuniting with his father and finding his own place in the world. A revelatory account of a singularly American childhood that hauntingly echoes the larger story of race in our country, Pulling the Chariot of the Sun is written with the virtuosity and heart of one of the finest poets writing today. And it is also a powerful reflection on what is broken in America—but also what might heal and make it whole again. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a African American Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Biography & Autobiography. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Sociology. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a McCrae, Shane. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=9383343 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=b2e94ad8-f6e4-4f82-8c49-7fd57133306a&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $z Sample 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/5054-1/%7BB2E94AD8-F6E4-4F82-8C49-7FD57133306A%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/5054-1/%7BB2E94AD8-F6E4-4F82-8C49-7FD57133306A%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/b2e94ad8-f6e4-4f82-8c49-7fd57133306a $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20231004010131.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5AE57978627B11EE9D8B625031ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
