Jacqueline Woodson
When my mom died suddenly, I realized the people who knew who I was before *I* knew who I was, were getting older. I wanted to write my story down before there were no people in my family left to ask about the past. I wanted to figure out how I became a writer and why. Brown Girl Dreaming answers those questions.
