Like Sisters on the Homefront

Gayle's story is one of resilience, hope, and the power of family.

When her mother sends her to live with her Uncle Luther in Georgia, Gayle finds herself in a new world filled with challenges and opportunities.

Through her encounters with Great, the family matriarch, and Cookie, her kneesock-wearing, Jesus-praising cousin, Gayle learns about the past and how it shapes her future.

Williams-Garcia's writing is "unusually perceptive" and "streetwise," capturing the emotions and experiences of contemporary black culture with authenticity and heart.

This book will resonate with readers of all ages, especially those who appreciate stories of family, identity, and growth.
