 mber Title: <strong>The Waterbearers: A Memoir of Mothers &amp\; Daughters
 </strong> by: Sasha Bonet</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"A sharp\, tender\, sweeping hi
 story of three single Black mothers-the author's grandmother\, mother\, an
 d the author herself-interwoven with the stories of the Black women they s
 aw on the screen and heard on the radio every day. Here is a masterpiece o
 f life writing by a thrilling new voice\, a writer who will remake how we 
 think of generations. We begin in a house along a bayou in Texas\, a home 
 bought and paid for-and run-by the author's grandmother. Betty Jean spent 
 twenty summers in the swamplands of Louisiana as a cotton tenant farmer be
 fore going north to Texas in the Great Migration."<br /><br />"Today\, Sas
 ha Bon&eacute\;t\,the author\, like each woman before her\, wrangles with 
 the pull of her mother's orbit\, the austerity and love from which it came
 . She is the first in her family to look to the past in order to radically
  reimagine her future\, and the future of her daughter. In fostering a com
 munity of motherhood\, Bon&eacute\;t interrogates all aspects of being a m
 other-escape and promise\, burden\, assent\, and rebellion-not just for th
 ose who came before her\, but for those Black women with whom society is a
 cquainted\, too: Nina Simone\; Oprah Winfrey\; Audre Lorde\, and Darnella 
 Fraiser\, who filmed the murder of George Floyd and mobilized the world"--
