What is it about Woodson that fully pulls you in, restarts your heart, makes you savor each phrase — whatever it is, it‘s magic. Story is based on Bushwick neighborhood in NYC, called “Matchbox” due to the constant house fires that happened there…

We head home on Friday, so I need to enjoy beach reading while I can. I'm so glad I upgraded to the glare proof edition when I upgraded my Kindle - it makes reading in the sun SO much easier!

Chelsea.Poole Love your stickers! 😂 1mo
GondorGirl @Chelsea.Poole Thanks! It glows in the dark, too! 1mo

I was so emotionally invested in this story. Although the characters are fictional, the government sponsored sterilization of poor, black, and sometimes mentally-challenged young girls is a disturbing piece of not-so-distant American history that should be documented and understood.

marleed @TheAromaofBooks I can‘t believe I finished both my BookSpin and DoubleSpin in less than a week. And fun tidbit - both these physical books were LFL finds from 2023! 2mo
marleed @CBee Oh for me too! It was a different story than I was expecting expecting. I think the gorgeous cover had me thinking the time period was much earlier than it was. …@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks - I think you are going to love this! Do you have a physical copy? If not, I‘ll send you mine. 2mo
marleed @Alwaybeenaloverofbooks Hey Misty, I don‘t think my tag for you worked in the previous comment! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Nice!!! It's always extra fun to get LFL gems!! 2mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @marleed I do!! Thank you so much though! Did the package I sent make it to you? ❤️❤️ 2mo
marleed @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks yes, it arrived early Friday just minutes after I finished a book so I started it immediately. I‘m almost to the epilogue. If I finish it, I‘ll post tomorrow. You are beyond wonderful! 2mo

Emotionally difficult read, but an important story based in fact surrounding terrible practices by government medical programs in “helping” poor black women in the south in the 1970s. Investigations that came from this case expanded victims to include women of Latin descent. The authors note includes examples of this practice still happening today.
