Reviews

McLarin gathers forthright essays reflecting on love, friendship, motherhood, and, above all, overt and thinly-veiled expressions of racism. In her candid title essay, she considers her transition from girlhood to womanhood, the female body, and her experiences of midlife online dating, where misogyny was apparent--misogyny, like racism, rooted in fear. Bold, well-crafted essays on living, loving, and striving while black.
