Resumen del Editor

A poignant mother-daughter story about the complex inner lives of women by the critically acclaimed author of Training School for Negro Girls.

In this evocative short piece, Candace worries that her mother, Annie, has reached an emotional breaking point. When her best friend loses her battle with cancer, Annie is acting in uncharacteristic ways, seemingly less concerned than ever about what her friends and neighbors think of her - a troubling development in her daughter’s eyes. But while Candace may think she knows her mother better than anyone, something deeper lingers beneath the surface, and times of hardship have a way of bringing us closer together than ever.

A perfect next listen for fans of Tayari Jones and Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, Starchild is a moving story from a striking literary voice.

I loved everything about this…

The best part being her momma showing her how to really live in the small space of time we all occupy.

Short, delightful story

The story made me think about my own mother who is also in her 70s. And I hope that she too will find whatever makes her the happiest in this life and spend the rest of her days doing just that.
