RED AT THE BONE

Brooklyn, 2001. It is the evening of sixteen-year-old Melody's coming of age ceremony in her grandparents' brownstone. Unfurling the history of Melody's family - from the 1921 Tulsa race massacre to post 9/11 New York - Red at the Bone explores sexual desire, identity, class, the life-altering facts of parenthood, and the ways in which young people must so often make fateful decisions about their lives before they have even begun to figure out who they are and what they want to be.
