Description

Cinelle Barnes' powerful essay collection explores the complexities of freedom in America. Born into a harrowing childhood in the Philippines, Cinelle emerged triumphant, but her journey of self-discovery was far from over as an undocumented teenager living in New York. As she navigated the challenges of being a new mother, an immigrant affected by PTSD, and a woman with a brown body in a profoundly white world, Cinelle came to rely on her resilience and faith in the human spirit to survive. Through stories both lived and overheard, she shares a deeply personal exploration of race, class, and identity that redefines what it means to be a woman - and an American - in a divided country. This lyrical and emotionally charged collection is a testament to Cinelle's journey towards self-discovery and empowerment.
