In 1973, a new nursing graduate, Civil Townsend, meets the girls as part of her work with the Montgomery Family Planning Clinic. In Take My Hand, the preteen girls are named Erica and India. The Relf sisters were mentally disabled children, 12 and 14 years old, respectively, when they were surgically sterilized without their knowledge. This is the context, and backdrop, of Dolen Perkins-Valdez’s affecting new novel, Take My Hand, which hones in on the horrific forced annual sterilization of between 100,000 and 150,000 recipients of welfare benefits in the 1970s, inspired by the true story of Minnie Lee and Mary Alice Relf. The history of medical mistreatment of Black people and the poor by medical professionals is as long as the history of medicine in the Americas, and unfortunately, Alabama is the home base for many of these atrocities. ![]()

![]() ![]() The book chronicles her efforts to unravel this family history, and determine what role her family may have played in Nazi Germany. Krug, who left home young and moved to the United States, where she married a Jewish man, has grappled with questions of German identity as an expatriate whose own family history is murky, confusing, and full of awkward silences. She takes a single idea – her family’s involvement in the Second World War – and pursues it with relentless, forensic determination. Where some contemporary comics drop tantalizingly big ideas but fail to follow through with sufficient thoroughness to do their subjects merit, Krug’s work lies at the opposite end of the spectrum. Not in terms of size – although at nearly 300 pages, it is that, too – but in terms of ideas, ambition, and scale. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nathaniel Steepleton-Thaniel, to his friends-is a telegrapher in the British Home Office in the 1880s.

So yes, my afterlife started with motion sickness. I rose up, up, up and took a sharp turn to the right, then a big drop, then a loop, then suddenly rose up again, going faster. It felt like I was on a malfunctioning ride at Six Flags and the staff had abandoned us in an electrical storm. (By the way, that’s my specialty: knowing things I’d rather not know.) And just for the record, I didn’t have the white-light-and-loved-ones-coming-to-welcome-me-because-death-is-a-wonderful-thing transition to the afterlife. I knew without even a tiny flicker of doubt that I was dead, but I didn’t want to know it. ![]() Isn’t this perfect? I had actually kept my mouth shut, opting not to tell the bride that I’d never be caught dead in mango. I was surrounded by waves and waves of mango chiffon.

My hair was still pulled back in an elaborate ponytail that was meant to look windswept, but trust me, it would have survived a tsunami. ![]() Still dressed in the (hideous) mango chiffon bridesmaid gown I was wearing when I died. ![]() |
