- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A beautiful one-woman play, autobiographical, about an African-American woman and her family. Includes five stories that cross the decades, including her own birth story, the first time she saw a burning cross, surviving a sexual assault, and more. I'd love to see this one performed live.
