In The Black Current- Act I: Blood, Allik's world changes after the devastating loss of his mother. Left struggling with grief and questions he cannot answer, he is sent to stay with his grandmother in a neighborhood built on generations of family, community, and shared history. There, ordinary moments begin to feel different. Old photographs hold unfamiliar meaning. Familiar habits take on new significance. Music speaks in ways words cannot. And the people around him begin to reveal a connection between the life he knows and the lives that came
before him.
Rooted in family, culture, community, and the "Black" experience, Act I: Blood begins a larger exploration of identity, inheritance, and the power of understanding where we come from. The Current has been moving long before Allik arrived. Now, he is beginning to notice where it lives.

Follow these simple care instructions to help preserve your copy.
1. Keep it dry.
Protect your book from water, spills, excessive humidity, and damp surfaces. Moisture can cause pages to wrinkle, ink to smear, and covers to warp.
2. Handle with clean, dry hands.
Clean hands help prevent oils, dirt, and residue from transferring onto the pages and cover.

Keep your book in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive humidity. Store it upright with support or flat on a clean surface.
