We Deserve Monuments by Jas Hammonds
5.0

When Avery moves from DC to Georgia for her aging grandma, she's determined to uncover the family secret that contributes to her mom & grandma's tension. While searching for the truth, friendships grow unexpectedly. Should Avery topple the delicate relationships to dig up the past?

With compassion & nuance, MONUMENTS examines how racial violence passes through generations. I love the depth of the story that explores family secrets & trauma and how we can move forward from past violence to heal our family.
