Lamb's family strives to better their lives in Jackson, Mississippi, in the late 1930s. Lamb’s mother is a hard-working, creative seamstress who cannot reveal she's a lesbian. Lamb’s brother has a brilliant mind and has even earned a college scholarship for a black college up north—if only he could curb his impulsiveness and rebellious nature. Lamb herself is a quiet and studious girl. She is also naïve. As she tentatively accepts the friendly overtures of a white girl who loans her a book she loves, she sets a off a calamitous series of events that pulls in her mother, charming hustler uncle, estranged father, and brother—and ends in a lynching. Told with nuance and subtlety, avoiding sensationalism and unnecessary brutality, this young-adult novel from celebrated author Lesa Cline-Ransome pays homage to the female victims of white supremacy.

When she isn’t behind the mic, she can be found gardening, buying (yet another) houseplant, collecting passport stamps, insisting there’s no such thing as too much garlic, dancing at the slightest provocation, belting showtunes into a hairbrush, and being the lucky mom of a great little boy.

Also an experienced actor, writer, producer, and educator, he has worked on Broadway, Off-Broadway, in numerous regional theaters across the country, and on film and television, including guest-starring on shows such as Law & Order, Bull, and NCIS: New Orleans.
