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.
