Brown calls on readers to live their professed ideals rather than simply state them - Publishers Weekly Takes readers on a journey through the racial divide in a way we've truly never seen before. Powerful, haunting, and absolutely impossible to put down, [Brown's] account of what it's like to grow up black, middle-class, and female in modern America is not to be missed - PopSugar A deeply personal celebration of blackness that simultaneously sheds new light on racial injustice and inequality while offering hope for a better future - Shondaland I have laughed, I have held back tears, I have reflected with joy, hope and hurt while reading.

Austin is a gift to the body and the culture - Lecrae Brown passionately rejects facile reliance on 'hope,' stating that 'in order for me to stay in this work, hope must die' and 'the death of hope gives way to a sadness that heals, to anger that inspires, to a wisdom that empowers me.'
