Reese Witherspoon has selected Redwood Court, the debut novel by DéLana R.A. Dameron (The Dial Press) as the February pick for her book club, describing the book this way: "The baby of the family, Mika Tabor spends much of her time in the care of loved ones, listening to their stories and witnessing their struggles. On Redwood Court, the cul-de-sac in the all-Black working-class suburb of Columbia, South Carolina, where her grandparents live, Mika comes of age and finds her voice. With visceral clarity and powerful prose, Dameron reveals the devastation of being made to feel invisible and the transformative power of being seen."
Reese wrote: "This book is filled with a sense of nostalgia as Mika takes us down memory lane, sharing stories of her Southern Black family through a collection of vivid vignettes. Read and discuss with us all month as we explore community, love, and what it means to be seen in this exquisite debut."
