Piecing Me Together Audiobook (Free)

A timely and powerful tale about a teenager girl from an unhealthy community striving for achievement, from acclaimed author Renee Watson. Jade feels she must get out of her community if she’s ever going to be successful. Her mother says she’s to take every opportunity. She has. She accepted a scholarship to a mostly-white private school as well as Saturday morning check prep opportunities. However, many opportunities feel more demeaning than useful. As an invitation to become listed on Women to Females, a mentorship program for ‘at-risk’ ladies. Except really, it’s for black ladies. From ‘poor’ neighborhoods. But Jade doesn’t need support. And just because her coach is dark doesn’t suggest she understands Jade. And maybe there are a few issues Jade could display these successful ladies about real life and finding methods to make a genuine difference. Friendships, race, privilege, identity-this convincing and thoughtful story explores the issues young women encounter.
