Description
A gripping portrayal of racial tension and a love story for queer Black girls unfolds in We Deserve Monuments. Seventeen-year-old Avery Anderson is forced to confront her family's dark past when she moves back to her hometown of Bardell, Georgia. There, she must navigate the complex relationships within her own family and uncover the secrets that have been hidden for years. As Avery gets to know Simone Cole, a captivating next-door neighbor, and Jade Oliver, daughter of the town's most prominent family, their friendship blossoms into romance. But with the sharp-edged opinions of their small southern town hinting at something insidious underneath, Avery must decide if digging for the truth is worth risking her relationships. With her grandmother's health dwindling, Avery must confront the racist history that has haunted her family for generations. Will she find a way to uncover the truth and heal her family's wounds, or will some secrets remain buried?
