We Are Taking Only What We Need
221 pages; BkMk
Winner of the 2012 Ernest J. Gaines Award, Stephanie Powell Watts writes about "dirt roaders," working-class Southerners who live large and dream safe, in We Are Taking Only What We Need (BkMk). The stories celebrate real people and their tenacious ability to break down life's locked doors.
