My summer editorial offerings focus on my greatest strength and interest: working with fellow writers who are reckoning with their own troubled family histories.
I reviewed Rachel Jamison Webster’s first book, Benjamin Banneker and Us: Eleven Generations of an American Family, for the Washington Post Book World. I appreciated the author’s intentional, thoughtful, and inclusive approach, and also had some hesitations and came away with some questions.
The Ancestor Trouble paperback is coming in June, and I love how much the design draws from the hardcover jacket while also making it new again. Thank you, Rachel Ake!
