Book Synopsis
Named most anticipated book of February by Marie Claire, Essence, and A.V. Club
 
…extraordinary and representative.—NPR

Drayton explores the ramifications of racism that span generations, global white supremacy, and the pitfalls of American culture.—Shondaland
 
After following her mother to the US at a young age to pursue economic opportunities, one woman must come to terms with the ways in which systematic racism and resultant trauma keep the American Dream inaccessible to Black people.

In the early ''90s, young Tiffanie Drayton and her siblings left Trinidad and Tobago to join their mother in New Jersey, where she''d been making her way as a domestic worker, eager to give her children a shot at the American Dream. At first, life in the US was idyllic. But chasing good school districts with affordable housing left Tiffanie and her family constantly uprooted--moving from Texas to Florida
