Red at the BoneRed at the Bone

Two families from different social classes are joined together by an unexpected pregnancy and the child that it produces. Moving forward and backward in time, this novel explores sexual desire and identity, ambition, gentrification, education, class and status, and the life-altering facts of parenthood. It takes a striking look at the ways in which young people must so often make long-lasting decisions about their lives - even before they have begun to figure out who they are and what they want to be.
