"An American African woman's essays about her spirituality, sexuality, traumas, and journey to healing herself. An important and eye-opening contribution to conversations about global identity politics." -Kirkus Reviews "Redux's ethereal ability to share her perspective and empower others creates a space in which everyone will benefit from reading her work"-Starred Review, School Library Journal

"Redux's use of frank, sometimes-biting, but consistently thoughtful language, coupled with her openness about her own life stories and lessons learned, shows that she is anything but stupid. McCarthy's illustrations-her visual responses to Redux's words-add another layer for consideration to this thought-provoking work. An important and eye-opening contribution to conversations about global identity politics." -Kirkus Reviews
