I LOVE One Crazy Summer! I remember reading it during my undergrad and was actually the first time I dug in deep into learning about the Black Panthers. I can definitely see the common themes of self-realization in her novels. It seemed like growing up she didn't see many books that reflected herself or her experience and took intitative to write those books herself. How impressive that she taught herself to read!
