Both the exhibition and novel focus on women and motherhood across time and geography.

It follows the lives of two half-sisters and eight generations of their descendants, those who endured enslavement in America and those who remained in Africa. The powerful story shows the deep and lasting effects of slavery. </p><p>Yaa Gyasi was born in Ghana and raised in Huntsville, Alabama. She earned an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. <em>Homegoing</em> won the PEN/Hemingway Award and the NBCC’s John Leonard Award.
