Break This House by Candice Iloh opens with a scene between Yaminah ("Minah") and her dad Pop, who live in Crown Heights. Then she receives messages from her cousin, including one that's a link to an event: a family reunion in memory of Sandra Anne Williams. Her mother. Who apparently died four months ago.
Minah seems like a really relatable protagonist for teens. The cover shows her face, but like it's been reflected in a mirror that's been broken into pieces. It's a cool way to depict the title.
