| “In Cekpa, Leah Altman braids together strands of deep, complicated and sometimes difficult love for her birth family, for her adopted family, for her own daughters, and the family she is building in a world not always inclined to celebrate the multiplicity of traditions she has lived. Fierce, funny, mother, and Mother Earth-centric, vivid and compelling, this memoir will remind you that—in spite of current evidence to the contrary—strong women continue to make the world.” —Pam Houston, author of Deep Creek: Finding Hope in the High Country |
