Book Review — Red at the Bone
by Carol Lloyd —  Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson This story, set in 2001, opens with 16 year-old Melody’s coming out party. Her mother never had a party like this and the mother-daughter relationship is strained for a variety of reasons. And so begins the tale of these 3 generations as they weave their way through the intricacies of life. The Tulsa Race Massacre and 9/11 profoundly affect the family as does gentrification, education, and parenthood. Through each character’s story universal truths are revealed. Truths about love, friendship, and how life is lived. There is a lot of living packed into this little book and it is one of the best I’ve read in a long time. Carol Lloyd is the Churchill County librarian and has been on great adventures during most of January.

His mother, father, Karen and Trent were neighbors of ours in Tonopah, Nevada. We moved to Fallon first and then the Kroll's later moved there also. Mother and Wanda were good friends.
