 em>Holler Child</em> by LaToya Hawkins will be available beginning August

 \, and as an&nbsp\;<a href="https://mcplmd.overdrive.com/media/9451855">eA
 uidiobook</a>&nbsp\;on Libby.</p>\n<p>"In Holler\, Child's eleven brillian
 t stories\, LaToya Watkins presses at the bruises of guilt\, love\, and ci
 rcumstance. Each story introduces us to a character irrevocably shaped by 
 place and reaching toward something-hope\, reconciliation\, freedom. In 'C
 utting Horse\,' the appearance of a horse in a man's suburban backyard pla
 ces a former horse breeder in trouble with the police. In 'Holler\, Child\
 ,' a mother is forced into an impossible position when her son gets in a k
 ind of trouble she knows too well from the other side. And 'Time After' sh
 ows us the unshakable bonds of family as a sister journeys to find her est
 ranged brother-the one who saved her many times over. Throughout Holler\, 
 Child\, we see love lost and gained\, and grief turned to hope. Much like 
 LaToya Watkins's acclaimed debut novel\, Perish\, this collection peers de
 eply into lives of women and men experiencing intimate and magnificent rec
 konings--exploring how race\, power\, and inequality map on the individual
 \, and demonstrating the mythic proportions of everyday life"-- MCPL Catal
