Summary:
A renowned historian traces the life of an object handed down through three generations of Black women to craft an extraordinary testament to people left out of the archives. It honors the creativity and fierce resourcefulness of people who preserved family ties even when official systems refused to do so, and it serves as a visionary illustration of how to reconstruct and recount their stories today.
