Where Did You Sleep Last Night? is Senna's story of her parents, two beautiful young American writers from completely different backgrounds: a white woman with a blue-blood Bostonian lineage and a black man, the son of a struggling single mother and an unknown father. Their marriage seemed to snub the histories that had divided their cultures and also seemed to bravely embrace a radical future. When it ended eight years later it was one of the ugliest in Boston history. In the tradition of James McBride's The Color of Water, Senna looks back at her parents' divorce and beyond, to the histories that her parents tried so hard to overcome.
