We Are Not Broken

In this poignant memoir, George M. Johnson, acclaimed author of All Boys Aren't Blue, reflects on the vibrant experiences of Black boyhood and the bond of brotherhood shared between him and his brothers, Garrett, Rall, and Rasul, under the loving guidance of their grandmother, Nanny. Navigating challenges such as early encounters with racism and the complexities of first loves, the boys' rich family stories delve into themes of vulnerability, sacrifice, and culture. Enhanced by heartfelt letters from the grandchildren to Nanny, this personal narrative beautifully captures the essence of growing up in America, making it a resonant account for all.
