This “exuberant celebration of Black women’s joy as well as
their achievements” (Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling
author) novelizes the life of real estate magnate Josephine N.
Leary in a previously untold story of passion, perseverance, and
building a legacy after emancipation in North Carolina. Josephine
N. Leary is determined to build a life of her own and a future for
her family. When she moves to Edenton, North Carolina from the
plantation where she was born, she is free, newly married, and
ready to follow her dreams. As the demands of life pull
Josephine’s attention away, it becomes increasingly difficult for
her to pursue her real estate aspirations. She finds herself
immersed in deepening her marriage, mothering her daughters, and
being a dutiful daughter and granddaughter. Still, she manages to
teach herself to be a businesswoman, to manage her finances, and to
make smart investments in the local real estate market. But with
each passing year, it grows more and more difficult to focus on
building her legacy from the ground up. “Filled with passion and
perseverance, Josephine Leary is frankly a woman that everyone
should know” (Sadeqa Johnson, author of Yellow Wife) and her
story speaks to the part of us that dares to dream bigger, tear
down whatever stands in our way, and build something better for the
loved ones we leave behind.
