skin & bones
by Renée Watson
A novel about Lena Baker, a plus-size Black woman in Portland, Oregon, whose life is upended by a wedding day confession, forcing her to confront issues of body image, self-love, motherhood, and the forgotten Black history of her city. The lyrical story explores themes of race, gender, love, and identity through Lena's journey to find her place and teach her daughter self-acceptance in a world that often makes her feel invisible or judged.
