A Country You Can Leave by Asale Angel-Ajani
Lara, a sixteen-year-old, and her spirited mother, Yevgenia, find themselves living in the Oasis Mobile Estates, a community filled with residents who are down on their luck but rich in humor. As Lara navigates her identity as the Black, biracial daughter of a Russian mother, she begins to question her life beyond her mother's influence. Yevgenia, with her strong-willed nature, keeps her past and emotions closely guarded. A violent incident forces both mother and daughter to confront their strained relationship and the impact of their family's history. This story explores themes of identity, womanhood, and the complexities of a multiracial experience in America.
