Through the last 150 years of American history - from the post-reconstruction South and the mythic stories of cowboys in the West, to the present-day controversy over NFL protests and the backlash against the rise of women in politics - Ijeoma Oluo exposes the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of color, and white men themselves.

You just need good love, honest love - the kind of love that sits down to dinner with your demons, the kind of love that sees your bigness and your flaws and doesn’t flinch, doesn’t try to change you. No, you do not need loud love, you do not need the flash and bang of lust and authority, the twinkle of acceptance in their eyes. Your heart does not need to be validated, does not need to be legitimized. No, you don’t need anyone to light you up, to make you sparkle like the others. You have fallen and you have risen time and time again you are the living, breathing fragments of your triumphs and your tragedies, stitched together through hurt and hope, and you still shine. You don’t need to look for the kind of love that patches your wounds and builds you a new home within your body. No one knows how to fix you - and that’s okay.

The front cover of the book shows the antique dollhouse and dolls that were shipped from England in 1898 to be the playthings of the newborn Gertrude Seaborn Cox ancestor of the current owner, Kate Palmer. As with the front and back covers, the endpapers in the book are representative of the two dollhouses and families of dolls that inhabit them in this story. Martin and Godwin are fabulous writers, but having Selznick along to bring the dolls to life makes all the difference. Of course, and for me especially, part of what make The Doll People Series such magical books are the amazing illustrations by Brian Selznick, author and illustrator of the innovative, Caldecott winning The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
