When rent increases put a teen mom at risk of losing her home, she resorts to a dangerous game to keep her family afloat. But all games have consequences, and this isn' t one she can afford to lose. A gripping story about race, income instability, and the strength it takes to survive from a critically acclaimed author. "Kristen R. Lee is a miraculous story weaver"-Mahogany L. Browne, author of Vinyl Moon B' onca always knew how to get by. And then her daughter is born. She wouldn' t trade Mia for anything, but there is never enough cash to go around. When their gentrifying Memphis neighborhood results in higher prices and then an eviction notice, B' onca' s already fragile world spirals. Desperate to make things right, B' onca forges a risky plan to help pay the bills. But one wrong move could cost B' onca-and her family-everything. From the celebrated author of Required Reading for the Disenfranchised Freshman comes a compelling story about a teen mom navigating income disparity and racial inequality, and defying challenges to protect those she loves.
Kristen R. Lee is a native of Memphis, Tennessee. After graduating from college, she began to write her experiences attending a predominantly white institution, which led to the first draft of Required Reading for the Disenfranchised Freshman. She' s worked as a mentor for foster youth and has interned in a school setting, where she counseled middle-school-aged children. Writing stories that reflect often-unheard voices is what she strives to do. Learn more about Kristen at kristenleebooks. com.
