Our 2024 Book of the Year
Our Sycamore book of the year for 2024 is All that She Carried, the Journey of Ashley’s Sack by Tiya Miles. Meticulously researched, this history of a fabric artifact affords the reader a window into the immense scale of those whose stories have gone unheard and whose impact we may never know. Miles weaves the sack’s journey into a much larger tale of family, art, culture, and the ties that endured across generations despite the brutality visited on enslaved people. It is an inspiring journey and well worth your time!
