1. 1. We Deserve Monuments

   

   In this poignant coming-of-age story, a young girl is uprooted from her life in Washington, D.C., and thrust into the small Southern town of her mother's childhood. As she navigates the complexities of family secrets, racial tensions, and her own identity, she forms unexpected friendships and uncovers long-buried truths about her grandmother's past. Through a tapestry of love, loss, and resilience, the narrative explores the enduring impact of history on the present and the power of confronting the past to forge a path toward healing and understanding.
