We are Born of 3
Jade is a thirteen year old African-American girl living in North Philadelphia during the transition from gang wars to drug kingpins. A product of a catholic school education and respectability politics for a “good” black girl, she struggles with her wild and free tomboy nature. The summer brings changes to her body, her family and the way she views the world. Her favorite person on the planet, the only person who “sees” her, her great grandmother, is lost to her due to dementia. When Jade is asked to help care for her great grandmother, she is excited to not have to babysit her siblings but has no idea how much this summer will change her.
