In this searing and uplifting memoir, a young Black queer woman fresh out of college adopts her baby brother after their incarcerated mother dies, determined to create the kind of family she never had. Growing up, Nikkya Hargrove’s mother was in and out of prison. Hargrove, one of the 5 million children dealing with the effects of an incarcerated parent, spent a good portion of her childhood in prison visiting rooms. After her baby brother was born, Hargrove decided to fight for custody–even though she had only just graduated college. We see how she is subjected to preconceived notions that she, a Black, queer, young woman, cannot handle the responsibility. She shares about the shame she feels accepting food stamps, her family’s reaction to her coming out, and the joy she experiences when she meets the woman who will become her wife. Whether she’s clashing with her brother's biological father or battling for Jonathan’s education rights after he’s diagnosed with ADHD and autism, this is a woman who won’t give up. Hargrove’s memoir picks up where Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy left off, exploring generational trauma and pulling back the curtain on family court and poverty in America. Moving and inspiring, Mama is an ode to motherhood and identity, to never giving up, and to finding strength in family and community.


在这部深刻又鼓舞人心的自传中,一位刚从大学毕业的年轻黑人女同性恋者收养了她的未成年的弟弟,因为她服刑的母亲去世后决心创建一个她从未拥有的家庭。Nikkya Hargrove 小时候,她的妈妈经常进出监狱。Hargrove 是500万与服刑父母有关的孩子之一,童年里花了不少时间在关押室的房间。弟弟出生之后,Hargrove 决定争取监护权——尽管她刚刚大学毕业。我们看到她要忍受人们对她这个黑人女同性恋者难以承担起责任这一先入为主的偏见。她分享了自己因为接受食物券而感到羞耻以及她的家庭对她在公开后的反应,还有当她遇见以后会成为妻子的女人时所感受到的喜悦。无论她与弟弟亲生父亲之间的冲突还是在弟弟被诊断为多动症和自闭症后争取其教育权利的过程,Hargrove 都不会放弃。Hargrove 的自传接续了布兰顿·史汀森(Bryan Stevenson)的《正义之泉》(Just Mercy)后的故事,探讨代际创伤并揭开美国家庭法庭以及贫困问题的面纱。这部作品既感人又鼓舞人心,是一部关于母爱与身份、永不放弃以及在家人和社区中寻找力量的颂歌。
