Description
Krystal A. Sital's Secrets We Kept is a powerful exploration of family secrets and resilience in the Caribbean. Growing up idolizing her grandfather, Krystal learns about the brutal past of her foremothers, who survived and found strength in themselves despite violence, ethnic and racial caste systems, and domestic abuse. In this lyrical and poignant memoir, Krystal uncovers the long-held secrets of her family's history, revealing a complex legacy of ambition and cruelty. Through the stories of her mother and grandmother, she comes to understand the bonds between women and generations that help them find peace with the past. A deeply personal and thought-provoking work, Secrets We Kept sheds light on the harsh realities of plantation slavery and its ongoing impact on the Caribbean region.
