Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson is a short novel, but one with a fascinating story of 4 generations of a family spanning time from the Tulsa massacre which was followed by moves to Chicago and to two different locations in Brooklyn. It is the story of mostly the women within a successful and educated (college degrees) Black family. It is also a story of caution, love, alienation, declaring independence, and adapting. The characters are fascinating. The story is captivating. I gave it 4 1/2 stars out of 5.
