I wasn’t prepared for what happens to Aunt Hager and loved Harrietta’s redemption arc. What a hidden treasure of a novel.

@rockstarballet.bsky.socialDreams
By Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
