Description
In 1968, three sisters travel to Oakland, California, to meet their mother for the first time. Delphine, who has taken on a maternal role since their mother's departure seven years earlier, is joined by her younger sisters Vonetta and Fern. Their mother, Cecile, sends them to a day camp run by the Black Panthers, far from the Disney magic they had hoped for. As they navigate this unexpected summer, Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern learn valuable lessons about their family, country, and themselves. This heartwarming and humorous novel explores themes of identity, community, and belonging. A powerful story of sisterhood and self-discovery, One Crazy Summer has been widely praised for its moving portrayal of a pivotal moment in American history.
