With urgent, vital insights into questions of class, gender, race, history, queerness and sex' New York Times An unexpected teenage pregnancy brings together two families from different social classes, and exposes the private hopes, disappointments and longings that can bind or divide us. From the New York Times-bestselling and National Book Award-winning author of Another Brooklyn and Brown Girl Dreaming. Brooklyn, 2001. It is the evening of sixteen-year-old Melody's coming of age ceremony in her grandparents' brownstone. Watched lovingly by her relatives and friends, making her entrance to the music of Prince, she wears a special custom-made dress - the very same dress that was sewn for a different wearer, Melody's mother, for a celebration that ultimately never took place. Unfurling the history of Melody's family - from the 1921 Tulsa race massacre to post 9/11 New York - Red at the Bone explores sexual desire, identity, class, and the life-altering facts of parenthood, as it looks at the ways in which young people must so often make fateful decisions about their lives before they have even begun to figure out who they are and what they want to be. *** ONE OF THE BOOKS OF THE YEAR FOR: New York Times; Washington Post; Time; USA Today; O, The Oprah Magazine; Elle; Good Housekeeping; Esquire; NPR; New York Public Library; Library Journal; Kirkus; BookRiot; She Reads; The Undefeated ***

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One-Arm Boy in a Two-Arm World: The Story of a Sharecropper's Son and His Family's Enduring Bond of Love, is the heart wrenching biography of DM Bone, a young boy with only one arm, and his family. Living during the time of the Great Depression, this poor, uneducated family suffers one hardship after another. As sharecroppers they already have a heavy load to bear, but three years of drought, a fire, and failing crops pushes their faith and endurance to the limits. Just when it seems things can't get worse, young DM loses his arm and his sister develops polio, adding to the family's seemingly insurmountable odds. Yet those who are strong in their faith will withstand any hardship. Relying on an inner strength and will to survive, DM and his family faces each challenge head-on rather than letting it get the better of them. Giving up is simply not a part of their character. In One-Arm Boy in a Two-Arm World, author Nancy Bone Goff realistically captures every aspect of farm life in the rural south, showing readers what it was like during those difficult times. Though their burden was heavy, one family proved that love and faith can overcome any obstacle.
