Dameron's debut novel, \u003ci\u003eRedwood Court\u003c\/i\u003e. The baby of the family, Mika Tabor spends much of her time in the care of loved ones, listening to their stories and witnessing their struggles. On Redwood Court, the cul-de-sac in the all-Black working-class suburb of Columbia, South Carolina, where her grandparents live, Mika learns important lessons from the people who raise her: her exhausted parents, who work long hours at multiple jobs while still making sure their kids experience the adventure of family vacations; her older sister, who in a house filled with Motown would rather listen to Alanis Morrisette; her retired grandparents, children of Jim Crow, who realized their own vision of success when they bought their house on the Court in the 1960s, imagining it filled with future generations; and the many neighbors who hold tight to the community they've built, committed to fostering joy and love in an America so insistent on seeing Black people stumble and fall. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith visceral clarity and powerful prose, Dameron reveals the devastation of being made to feel invisible and the transformative power of being seen. \u003ci\u003eRedwood Court\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of extraordinary, ordinary people striving to achieve their own American dreams.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDéLana R.
