Walk With Us

Triplet Boys, Their Teen Parents And Two White Women Who Tagged Along

BY ELIZABETH GORDON

Brief Description:
Tahija, an effectively homeless teenage girl, finds herself pregnant with triplets. Her boyfriend Lamarr turns to one of the few resources in his North Philadelphia neighborhood: Kaki and Kathryn, two white Quaker women who left the suburbs to live in multiracial community and work for peace. The young mother moves in and has three boys, but then the state threatens to take them into care because the parents are so young, and without apparent adult support. Unless ... With hope in your heart and an eye on the Beloved Community, walk with this amazing family of teenaged Black Muslims, middle-aged Quaker lesbians, and radiant baby boys growing fast into toddlers.
