À propos de cette écoute
In childhood, Amy Hallberg receives a dollhouse that—while given with love—carries steep expectations. Forty years later, Amy walks away from her teaching career to forge a new life as a writer. The dollhouse reemerges as a mirror on Minnesota Nice, that familiar culture Amy’s been afraid to examine too closely.
She’s equally terrified of repeating her ancestors’ stories instead of writing her own. When real-world historic events draw her in, then Amy’s true education begins. This leads her to question everything she thought she believed in, and ultimately to build new foundations.
The book ends where it begins, in Minneapolis and its Twin Cities suburbs, but with the dollhouse now gone and Minnesota Nice in the world’s spotlight, along with the unresolved questions of legacy and inheritance. What do we keep, what do we let go of, and what do we choose to repurpose?

Avis de l'équipe
“Amy Hallberg is masterful at blending life’s simplicities with thought-provoking questions on race and individual truths. Tiny Altars gives us permission to examine the origin of our stories, lean into discomfort, and use our voices, so we may create change within ourselves and our communities.”—Lisa Harris, author of Unveiled Beauty: Handwritten Stories from a Poetic Heart
