The forthcoming book from 'We Are Not Like Them' authors asks the question: Who gets to make the choice to be a mom?
, Jo Piazza and Christine Pride are back with another thought-provoking, conversation-starting, extremely relevant novel:. The book, featuring an evocative cover illustration by artist Laywan Kwan revealed here for the first time, again examines race, but this time also asks readers to grapple with their notions of motherhood—who gets to choose to be a mother and what it means to be a quote-unquote good one.
it's hard to talk about race. Our book gave them entry points because, through the characters, and through the story lines, they were able to say things they never would have said, because they were terrified of asking those questions, of starting those conversations. We done so many book events, and everyone was just so incredibly excited for a way to start that conversation, which is exactly what we want to be doing with this next book.
And pushing readers to think about...how they view the world. And then how they can view the world differently, through both our characters' eyes and really putting the reader in these characters' shoes. Christine and I have had different paths In life. Christine is a godmother and an aunt to so many children and has chosen to be child-free. I have not stopped breeding in six years now. ... We haven't seen anything really great recently in the commercial fiction space about: How do you make that choice for motherhood? Who gets to make that choice for you? Is it a privilege, or is motherhood a right? And we want to explore that through the characters of Cinnamon and Daisy.
