I’m Right Here by Yvonne Cassidy

Cassie and E.L. were born hundreds of miles and 150 years apart. For Cassie, home is a Brooklyn Heights’ brownstone that feels pretty empty since her grandfather died and her Dad left. E.L. lives on a South Carolina cotton plantation, where she shares a one roomed wooden cabin with eight other slaves. Told through a narrative as fractured as memory itself, ‘I’m Right Here’ is the story of two girls’ journeys that are inextricably linked across distance and across time.
