Praise for Jacqueline Woodson: "Jacqueline Woodson is a master storyteller." --Angela Flournoy, author of the National Book Award finalist The Turner House "Every gorgeous page leads to another revelation, another poignant event or memory." --Edwidge Danticat, National Book Award finalist and National Book Critics Circle Award winning author of Brother, I'm Dying and Claire of the Sea Light "Jacqueline Woodson has such an original vision, such a singular voice." --Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth "Woodson brings the reader so close to her young characters that you can smell the bubble gum on their breath and feel their lips as they brush against your ear."-- Tayari Jones, New York Times -bestselling author of An American Marriage "One of the quietly great masters of our time."-- Kirkus Reviews "Woodson manages to remember what cannot be documented, to suggest what cannot be said." -- The Washington Post "Woodson does for young black girls what short story master Alice Munroe does for poor rural ones: She imbues their everyday lives with significance. -- Elle "Woodson writes lyrically about what it means to be a girl in America, and what it means to be black in America. Each sentence is taut with potential energy, but the story never bursts into tragic flames; it stays strong and subtle throughout." -- The Huffington Post, Praise for Red at the Bone : "Profoundly moving ... With its abiding interest in the miracle of everyday love, Red at the Bone is a proclamation." -- The New York Times Book Review "A treasure awaits readers who encounter Red at the Bone ....A universal American tale of striving, failing, then trying again." -- Time "Sublime....This short novel contains immense empathy for each member of its wide ensemble. Thus, as Woodson covers nearly a century, from the 1921 Tulsa race massacre to 9/11, her grasp of history's weight on individuals -- and definitive feel for borough life, past and present -- proves to be as emotionally transfixing as ever." -- Entertainment Weekly " Red at the Bone is a narrative steeped in truth...Thank you, Ms. Woodson, for leading me home." -- The Washington Post "Vast emotional depth, rich historical understanding and revelatory pacing ... Woodson draws the profound magic out of the ordinary. She is unmatched in her ability to evoke emotion."-- The San Francisco Chronicle "A remarkable, intergenerational harmony of voices. At its center is hope for both individual and hereditary survival."--USA Today "Gorgeous, moving...A story of love--romantic and familial--and alienation, grief and triumph, disaster and survival." -- Nylon " Red at the Bone breaks down the ways in which parenthood changes people for both better and worse and what it means to find your true identity." -- Parade "Slender miracle of a novel [that] performs a magic trick with time....Woodson skips back and forth between the decades so deftly that it feels like it all happens in a heartbeat." -- Family Circle, Praise for Red at the Bone : "Woodson channels deeply true-feeling characters, all of whom readers will empathize with in turn. In spare, lean prose, she reveals rich histories and moments in swirling eddies, while also leaving many fateful details for readers to divine." - Booklist "Jacqueline Woodson is moving and shaking in both YA and adult literature realms. Her new adult novel brings together a clash of social classes via an unexpected pregnancy . . . Two words: can't wait."-- The Millions , Most Anticipated 2019 "[A] beautifully imagined novel. . . Woodson's nuanced voice evokes the complexities of race, class, religion, and sexuality in fluid prose and a series of telling details. This is a wise, powerful, and compassionate novel." - Publishers Weekly , starred review "Woodson famously nails the adolescent voice. But so, too, she burnishes all her characters' perspectives. . . In Woodson, at the height of her powers, readers hear the blues: 'beneath that joy, such a sadness.'"--Kirkus, starred review "[A] remarkable and moving portrait of a family in a changing Brooklyn. . . There's not a single unnecessary word."--Refinery29 Praise for Jacqueline Woodson: "Jacqueline Woodson is a master storyteller." --Angela Flournoy, author of the National Book Award finalist The Turner House "Every gorgeous page leads to another revelation, another poignant event or memory." --Edwidge Danticat, National Book Award finalist and National Book Critics Circle Award winning author of Brother, I'm Dying and Claire of the Sea Light "Jacqueline Woodson has such an original vision, such a singular voice." --Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth "Woodson brings the reader so close to her young characters that you can smell the bubble gum on their breath and feel their lips as they brush against your ear."-- Tayari Jones, New York Times -bestselling author of An American Marriage "One of the quietly great masters of our time."-- Kirkus Reviews "Woodson manages to remember what cannot be documented, to suggest what cannot be said." -- The Washington Post "Woodson does for young black girls what short story master Alice Munroe does for poor rural ones: She imbues their everyday lives with significance. -- Elle "Woodson writes lyrically about what it means to be a girl in America, and what it means to be black in America.

Woodson draws the profound magic out of the ordinary. She is unmatched in her ability to evoke emotion."-- The San Francisco Chronicle "A remarkable, intergenerational harmony of voices.

Synopsis
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR "A spectacular novel that only this legend can pull off." -Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times- bestselling author of HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST , in The Atlantic "An exquisite tale of family legacy....The power and poetry of Woodson's writing conjures up Toni Morrison." - People "In less than 200 sparsely filled pages, this book manages to encompass issues of class, education, ambition, racial prejudice, sexual desire and orientation, identity, mother-daughter relationships, parenthood and loss....With Red at the Bone, Jacqueline Woodson has indeed risen -- even further into the ranks of great literature." - NPR "This poignant tale of choices and their aftermath, history and legacy, will resonate with mothers and daughters." -Tayari Jones, bestselling author of AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE , in O Magazine An unexpected teenage pregnancy pulls together two families from different social classes and explores their histories - reaching back to the Tulsa race massacre of 1921 -- and exposes the private hopes, disappointments, and longings that can bind or divide us from each other, from the New York Times -bestselling and National Book Award-winning author of Another Brooklyn and Brown Girl Dreaming . Moving forward and backward in time, Jacqueline Woodson's taut and powerful new novel uncovers the role that history and community have played in the experiences, decisions, and relationships of these families, and in the life of the new child. As the book opens in 2001, it is the evening of sixteen-year-old Melody's coming of age ceremony in her grandparents' Brooklyn brownstone. Watched lovingly by her relatives and friends, making her entrance to the music of Prince, she wears a special custom-made dress. But the event is not without poignancy. Sixteen years earlier, that very dress was measured and sewn for a different wearer: Melody's mother, for her own ceremony-- a celebration that ultimately never took place. Unfurling the history of Melody's family - reaching back to the Tulsa race massacre in 1921 -- to show how they all arrived at this moment, Woodson considers not just their ambitions and successes but also the costs, the tolls they've paid for striving to overcome expectations and escape the pull of history. As it explores sexual desire and identity, ambition, gentrification, education, class and status, and the life-altering facts of parenthood, Red at the Bone most strikingly looks 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., AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER One of OPRAH MAGAZINE'S "BEST BOOKS OF 2019" A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR "An exquisite tale of family legacy....The power and poetry of Woodson's writing conjures up Toni Morrison." - People "In less than 200 sparsely filled pages, this book manages to encompass issues of class, education, ambition, racial prejudice, sexual desire and orientation, identity, mother-daughter relationships, parenthood and loss....With Red at the Bone, Jacqueline Woodson has indeed risen -- even further into the ranks of great literature." - NPR "This poignant tale of choices and their aftermath, history and legacy, will resonate with mothers and daughters." -Tayari Jones, bestselling author of An American Marriage , in O Magazine An unexpected teenage pregnancy pulls together two families from different social classes, and exposes the private hopes, disappointments, and longings that can bind or divide us from each other, from the New York Times -bestselling and National Book Award-winning author of Another Brooklyn and Brown Girl Dreaming .
