Plums for Months: Memories of a Wonder-Filled, Neurodivergent Childhood

By Zaji Cox

Book Overview

"A poetic lovesong as big as the cosmos." --Lidia Yuknavitch
As a neurodivergent child in a hundred-year-old house, Zaji Cox collects grammar books, second-hand toys, and sightings of feral cats. She dances and cartwheels through self-discovery and doubt, guided by her big sister and their devoted single mother. Through short essays that evoke the abundant imagination of childhood, Plums for Months explores the challenges of growing up mixed race and low-income on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon.
