What if the only way to understand your mother... was to become her? Joy never believed in love. Not after the mother who barely acknowledged her and the father she never knew. Now, at 25 and unexpectedly pregnant, she faces an impossible choice-bring a child into a world that never loved her, or walk away before history repeats itself. Then, late one night, an old sewing machine hums beneath her fingertips. And suddenly, Joy is no longer herself. She is Sonny, her grandmother at seventeen, stitching clothes in a Harlem apartment overflowing with siblings and responsibilities. As she moves between past and present, slipping into the lives of the women who came before her, Joy begins to unravel the truth behind their pain, their choices, and the love they were never allowed to keep. But time is unrelenting. What's meant to be will be. And if Joy isn't careful, she might lose more than just herself in the past. A spellbinding novel about motherhood, identity, and the invisible threads that bind us across time, I Am My Daughter and My Daughter Is Me explores the weight of generational inheritance-and the power to unthread it.All Rights Reserved
