Growing up as a Black girl in America, Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton yearned for stories she could connect to - true ones, of course, but also fables and mythologies that could help explain both the world and her place in it. With a poet's gift for lyricism and poignancy, Mouton reflects on her childhood as the daughter of a preacher and a harsh but loving mother, living in the world as a Black woman whose love is all too often coupled with danger, and finally learning to be a mother to another Black girl in America. Of the moment yet timeless, playful but incendiary, Mouton has staked out new territory in the memoir form.
