Lawrence Hill recommends
This Here is Love (2025)
Princess Joy L Perry
"This Here is Love is an utterly riveting intergenerational saga of love, betrayal, theft, and resilience. Princess Joy L. Perry laces every chapter with fireworks and unforgettable characters-all off-kilter, wounded, and searching for solace in this epic tale of slavery and freedom."
How to Be Found (2023)
Emily Pohl-Weary
"Emily Pohl-Weary's wonderfully entertaining novel teems with the exuberant vitality of two teen girls who - despite obstacles that are sometimes serious and at other times hilarious - insist on defining themselves on their own terms and living freely and with self-confidence."
Gutter Child (2021)
Jael Richardson
"In Ealey Richardson’s valuable addition to the body of memoirs about family and identity, there is much to be discovered about fathers and daughters [and] the different ways of experiencing blackness."
