What Momma Left Me

Rediscover Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Award winner Renée Watson's heart-tugging debut novel, now with a beautiful redesign.
 
Serenity knows she is good at keeping secrets, and she's got a whole lifetime's worth of them. Her mother is dead, her father is gone, and starting life over at her grandparents' house is strange. Luckily, certain things seem to hold promise: a new friend, a new church, a new school. But when her brother starts making poor choices, and her grandparents believe in a faith that Serenity isn't sure she understands, it is the power of love that will keep her sure of just who she is.
 
Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Award winner Renée Watson's stunning writing shines in this powerful and ultimately uplifting novel.
