Sky Full of Elephants A Novel

After an unforeseen event in which white people have all drowned themselves, Sidney finds herself even more lost and unknown than she ever felt before. We then follow a journey of a once imprisoned man, now a Howard University professor named Charlie. As he ventures out for redemption and purpose after being contacted by Sidney, his biracial daughter, who only sees him as her last resort. Campbell dissects so much of mixed identity and experience. Every character has such depth that makes them feel both firm and unique while yet so connected. As a biracial person myself, I found myself sympathizing with Sidney's grieve. It’s not only a book of pride and resilience but also one of sacrifice and community. It presents the toll and weight of years of misinformation and lies on not only an individual, but on a culture and people. This is the kind of book that grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go. I devoured every page like it was my last meal. Left no crumbs. Beautiful, gut-wrenching, and unforgettable. Five stars!!!!!
