They tried to bury him. But he bloomed.\"

In the heart of North Philly, where broken promises echo louder than sirens, a boy named Mekhi is

forged by the hands of a woman who refuses to fold. Raised by a single mother in a city that swallows

Black boys whole, Mekhi navigates the violence, silence, and systems built to erase him — armed only

with wisdom, wounds, and a burning will to rise.

But when love becomes a weapon and betrayal wears a friendly face, Mekhi's dream of building hope

for the next generation puts a target on his back. And when he's gunned down after finding his purpose,

his mother Renee does more than mourn — she mobilizes.

Built From Her Hands is a gripping, emotional, and culturally rich novel about strength, sacrifice, and

the power of Black motherhood. This is not just a story of survival — it's a story of revolution, legacy,

and what happens when the world underestimates the hands that built it.

A must-read for anyone who's ever been counted out... but refused to disappear.
