Texte du rabat

From Dr. Yolanda Pierce comes a searching meditation on Black faith, suffering, hope, and the healing work of justice. In exquisite prose, Pierce weaves together her own memories, vignettes from Black life, and scenes from scripture. When the wounds become the witness, we find a faith reimagined and a hope transfigured.
