An arresting and one-of-a-kind memoir about the alternately exultant and harrowing trip growing up as a Black child desperate to create a clear reality for herself in this country

Written in a distinctive voice and filled with personality, humor, and pathos, Fruit Punch is a memoir unlike any other, from a one-of-a-kind millennial talent. Growing up in Dallas, Texas, in the nineties and early 2000s, Kendra Allen had a complicated, loving, and intense family life filled with desire and community but also undercurrents of violence and turmoil. We equate suffering to perseverance and misinterpret the weight of shame, she writes. As she makes her way through a world of obscureness, Kendra finds herself slowly discovering outlets to help navigate growing up and against the expected performance of being a young Black woman in the Southa complex interplay of race, class, and gender that proves to be ever-shifting ground.

Fruit Punch touches on everything from questions of beauty and how we form concepts of ourselvesas a small rebellion, young Kendra scratched a hole into every pair of stockings she was forced to wearto what it means to grow up in her great uncles Southern Baptist churchwith rules including No uncrossed ankles and No questions. Inflected by a powerful sense of place and touched by poetry, Fruit Punch is a stunning achievementa memoir born of love and endurance, fight or flight, and what it means to be a witness, from a blisteringly honest and observant voice.

This collection of unflinching personal essays explores the landscape of a Black girlhood in all its beauty and brutality.
