By Melanie FARMER

Winner of the Hurston/Wright Crossover Award

"A wise and wry take on identity formation, parental expectations, and proper martial arts attire. Following a young woman's journey from student to teacher, this thoughtful essay's nimble voice provides a lively exploration of family bonds and the search for self-mastery."

-COLSON WHITEHEAD, author of The Nickel Boys

Rolling... is a hilarious and poignant essay disguised as a how-to guide. In addition to the martial art of Brazilian jiu jitsu, Farmer explores the boundaries of femininity and maternal expectations. With collaborative illustrations by Amy Wheaton.
