This week, Denene Millner takes us “behind the book” with One Blood, a powerful new novel which follows three women from The Great Migration, to the civil unrest of the 1960s, to the quest for women’s equality in the early 2000s. This is one of the most compelling, beautifully written books I’ve read in years and I’ve been recommending it to everyone I see.
“In delicious, decadent prose, Denene Millner does what few authors can–compose a sprawling multigenerational tale that is necessary American reading. One Blood sings the song of the South in a voice that is heartbreaking, hopeful, and resilient. A masterpiece.” -Tara M. Stringfellow, National Bestselling author of Memphis
