Publisher's Synopsis
From the Author of WOVEN: Womanhood and Unveiling Gods Beauty, through the use of poetry and essays, In A High Place is an intimate reflection of Black motherhood and the growth of a woman finding her way back to herself. Caneeka shares the pain of miscarriage, embraces the identity challenges of motherhood, celebrates the power of the collective, and reminds us of God's strength in times of uncertainty.
Navigating the identity struggle that happens as you attempt to rediscover who you are after becoming a mother, Caneeka empowers mothers to be gracious as they find their way back into the high places--Determined to see the beauty of the bigger picture of their motherhood and holding it deep within their hearts. Each piece is a call to transparency, truth, and a reminder of our freedom even in the face of oppression. Why should we care about a man in Minneapolis or a young boy in Florida? Even in our brokenness, Black mothers heal one another through our shared love for change. In A High Place: Black Motherhood and a Woman Rising poetry collection is an invitation for Black mothers to envision the community we need and the healing we deserve when we honor our spirits from the high places on our journey.
