The Dragons, The Giant, The Women

Wayétu Moore

The Dragons, The Giant, The Women was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and a New York Times Book of the Year. When Wayétu Moore turns five years old, civil war breaks out in her home country of Liberia. Separated from her mother in far-away New York, Wayétu is forced to flee with her family on foot, until a remarkable rescue by a rebel soldier. But even with her family reunited in the safety of her adopted home, America, Moore finds herself - as a Black woman and an immigrant - in a new kind of danger. Will she forever be that girl still running?
