All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley's Sack, a Black Family Keepsake

All That She Carried is a powerful and poignant book that tells the story of three generations of Black women and their connection through a single cotton bag passed down through the generations.

The book is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of people who preserved family ties despite steep odds, and it offers a visionary illustration of how to reconstruct and recount their stories today.

With a PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award, Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, Lawrence W.

Levine Award, and Darlene Clark Hine Award, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, family, and the power of storytelling.
