“Cox paints a beautiful portrait of growing up in Portland, Oregon, as a low-income child with Asperger’s…[with] dreamlike storytelling and unorthodox structure…This a tour de force, layered with complexities and wonder, that alchemizes Cox’s unique girlhood to something almost divine.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
As a neurodivergent child in a hundred-year-old house, Zaji Cox collects grammar books, second-hand toys, and sightings of feral cats.
She dances and cartwheels through self-discovery and doubt, guided by her big sister and their devoted single mother.
Through short essays that evoke the abundant imagination of childhood, Plums for Months explores the challenges of growing up mixed race and low-income on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon.
