The Unsettled, Ayana Mathis’ sophomore novel, is about the branches of a family tree that stretch north into Philly from Bonaparte Alabama. I think it may also be about the many sacrifices a mother makes to keep her family intact. Ava is the sturdiest link, her son Touissaint is a thinner one, but proves to be the most enduring.
This looks good. Thank you for posting. It's available at my library.
