Take My Hand

"The new novel Take My Hand by New York Times bestselling author of Wench, Dolen Perkins-Valdez, is a stirring fictionalized history based on actual events featuring a Black nurse in 1973 Montgomery, Ala. It’s a haunting tale of how the actions of government agencies aren’t innocent of racism, injustice, or abuse, emotional and physical, of Black people in America. Valdez offers beautifully written prose, gripping dialogue, and unforgettable characters. Take My Hand is another remarkable must-read by Dolen Perkins-Valdez – it and deserves every accolade it’s getting."
