  the book:\n\nMoving forward and backward in time\, Jacqueline Woodson's t
 aut and powerful new novel uncovers the role that history and community ha
 ve played in the experiences\, decisions\, and relationships of these fami
 lies\, and in the life of the new child.\n\nAs the book opens in 2001\, it
  is the evening of sixteen-year-old Melody's coming of age ceremony in her
  grandparents' Brooklyn brownstone. Watched lovingly by her relatives and 
 friends\, making her entrance to the music of Prince\, she wears a special
  custom-made dress. But the event is not without poignancy. Sixteen years 
 earlier\, that very dress was measured and sewn for a different wearer: Me
 lody's mother\, for her own ceremony-- a celebration that ultimately never
  took place.\n\nUnfurling the&nbsp\;history of Melody's family – reachin
 g back to the Tulsa race massacre in 1921 --&nbsp\;to show how they all ar
 rived at this moment\, Woodson considers not just their ambitions and succ
 esses but also the costs\, the tolls they've paid for striving to overcome
  expectations and escape the pull of history. As it explores sexual desire
  and identity\, ambition\, gentrification\, education\, class and status\,
  and the life-altering facts of parenthood\,&nbsp\;Red at the Bone&nbsp\;m
 ost strikingly looks at the ways in which young people must so often make 
 long-lasting decisions about their lives--even before they have begun to f
 igure out who they are and what they want to be.\n\n&nbsp\;
