Genesis Begins Again

About This Book

Thirteen-year-old Genesis keeps a list of everything she hates about herself — and number one is the darkness of her skin. Alicia D. Williams' Newbery Honor debut is a raw, compassionate story about colourism within the Black community, an unstable home life, and the long, hard road to self-acceptance. Devastating and ultimately hopeful, it is one of the most important middle-grade novels of recent years.
