What an amazing and powerful story. Many may know the name of Emmet Till, but not many know the name of his mother: Mamie Till-Mobley. Emmet Till is a line in history, that most people will have heard of, but his mother was more than he ever got a chance to become. She was one of the Civil Rights leaders who set out to make our nation better for everyone. This book is written as a love poem to a remarkable woman. It has an ebb and flow that is edgy but commanding and dripping in love. This is a 5-star read and an amazing biography for young readers.
