This month's Talk About Books is The Twelve Tribes of Hattie by  Ayana Mathis.

Below are some links that might be interesting as you're reading.

The first two websites are books discussion suggestions. The ones in the middle are various articles and pages about the great migration. The last is an NPR interview with Ayana Mathis and Oprah Winfrey.

Good reading,

Cathi
