For centuries, secret-keeping has been a necessity in the Black community. Slaves hid children born with disabilities, to keep them from being killed. Thirsty for knowledge, they could not safely learn to read and write, so that was kept carefully hidden, as well. Continuing into the days of Jim Crow, more sophisticated secrets were kept, so that Blacks could socialize and enjoy each other's company without the threat of the Klan hunting them for sport. From generation to generation, each Black person carries the weight of secrets passed from elders and ancestors. Grass Won't Grow Where Secrets Are Buried is a collection of compelling stories focused on the liberation that happens when secrets are finally seen for what they are. With topics ranging from social climate change to bad relationships to the stigma of mental health issues, the journeys these characters take will inspire you to examine secrets in your own life... and set yourself free.
