Dorothy Allison recommends
 Autobiography Of A Family Photo (1995) Jacqueline Woodson "The girl's voice will open your heart, show you something you need to see... Look closely. This is a photo of graet beauty, great heartbreak, greater love." |  Homestead (1997) Rosina Lippi "Rosina Lippi is one of those impassioned storytellers who moves us to tears and makes us grateful for it. Reading Homestead, I felt some deep, tender part of me touched and made stronger. It is a heartbreakingly beautiful piece of work." |  The Slave and the Free (1999) (Holdfast) Suzy McKee Charnas "One of the best books I've read this year." | |
 Upstate (2004) Kalisha Buckhanon "Heartbreaking and true ... I'd read it again just for the power of the language." |  More of This World Or Maybe Another (2009) Barb Johnson "Precise and gorgeous language... A wonderful sense of humor... Pathos made over into something much more effective -- a vision of all these people just doing the best they can. These are stunning stories... the kind that reveal, enlarge, and make living seem worth the trouble." |
