Eldonna Edwards voelt zich aangetrokken tot verhalen over gemeenschap – de plaatsen waar we wonen, de families waarin we geboren zijn en de stammen waar we ons toe aangetrokken voelen.

De auteur integreert vakkundig humor om de complexe en soms donkerdere aspecten van uitdagende situaties te balanceren.
