About this ebook

“The vibrant and provocative stories of Davida Adedjouma jump off the
page and into your consciousness. A woman who has dedicated herself to
promoting creativity in others, teaching and empowering them to express their
truths, Adedjouma has written 36 interlocking short stories which take us on a
powerful, emotional, and unforgettable journey. Her themes are universal, her
images searing and the unfolding drama of her characters stays with you, long
after you’ve turned the last page. Savor it.”
- Donna Brown Guillaume, fi lmmaker
“Adedjouma has a way of taking unusual characters in unusual situations
and making them feel like familiar friends through her extraordinary gift for
dialogue and narrative. She is able to transport you to places you didn’t even
know existed but by the end you will never want to leave.”
- Elliott Madison, author and editor
Past reviews of Davida (Kilgore) Adedjouma’s work.
Publishers Weekly stated that, “Kilgore’s debut [Last Summer] … offers an
impressive array of distinct characters. The voices here are those of black
women eloquently articu-lating their experiences … Every piece conveys a
struggle either with poverty, domestic violence, death or with simply being
a black person in America, often complemented by a generous helping of
irresistible humor.”

Author

Davida Adedjouma

Davida Adedjouma is a licensed social worker who specializes in guiding women through various past traumas by using writing – whether journaling, poetry, fiction, creative non-fi ction or memoir – to recreate the reality of who they are now: thrivers, not just survivors. She is a published author and produced playwright whose work has been read at Symphony Space in New York City, and anthologized in the U.S. and France. Adedjouma will also soon be releasing her fi rst poetry chapbook, The Barbie Chronicles: Revisited. She currently lives in New York City with her pug, Sparky.
