Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi
4.0

My heart broke for Gifty - what an incredibly moving and powerful book!⁣

This is a gorgeously written narrative of a woman trying to survive the sadness, heartbreak and grief of losing her brother to addiction and a mother trapped in depression. ⁣

Gifty chases after her dreams and doesn’t let anything stop her. She is strong, brave and an advocate for herself. She is a thinker, problem solver and inclusive to others. ⁣

After reading this book, I can not wait to read Homegoing.⁣
