In West Mills
This illustration encapsulates the complex, layered story “In West Mills” by De’Shawn Charles Winslow about complex, layered people, all of whom have shared histories and heartbreaking hopes for their futures. Opening in the fall of 1941, the story follows the life of a woman named Azalea “Knot” Centre over the course of several decades as she navigates life as an independent woman in a tightly knit Black community.
