Description

A poignant story of resilience and love, All That She Carried is a deeply personal and historical account of the lives of three generations of Black women. Historian Tiya Miles weaves a narrative of survival and creativity, tracing the journey of a single cotton bag that held a family's history and hope. The book tells the story of a young girl, Ashley, who was separated from her mother and sold into slavery, and the women who kept her memory alive through art and storytelling. Miles carefully reconstructs their stories, using objects, art, and the environment to fill in the gaps where official records are lacking. This powerful and moving history honors the resourcefulness and creativity of people who preserved their family ties in the face of oppression, and serves as a testament to the enduring power of love and resilience.
