Product Description
HELD: Portrait of the Black Family (a memoir)
Author: Lulama Mali
Format: Softcover
At its heart, HELD is the story of a girl raised by her grandparents in a house where grief and jazz shared the air, where books and politics coexisted with the daily rhythms of survival, and where abundance was measured not in wealth but in ritual, memory, and care. It is also the story of her mother, Nokhephu -- first believed to have died in a tragic accident.
The truth would turn her childhood upside down: the sister she thought she had was in fact her mother and hadn’t died.
