In this stunning debut novel, four generations of complex Black
women contend with motherhood and daughterhood, generational trauma
and the deeply ingrained tensions and wounds that divide them as
they redefine happiness and healing for themselves. Erudite Evelyn,
her cynical daughter Charlotte, and Charlotte's optimistic daughter
Corinna see the world very differently. Though they love each other
deeply, it's no wonder that their personalities often clash. But
their conflicts go deeper than run-of-the-mill disagreements. Here,
there is deep, dark resentment for past and present hurt. When
Corinna gives birth to her own daughter, Camille, the beautiful,
intelligent little girl offers this trio of mothers something they
all need: hope, joy, and an opportunity to reconcile. They decide
to work together to raise their collective daughter with the
tenderness and empathy they missed in their own relationships. Yet
despite their best intentions, they cannot agree on what that
means. After Camille eventually leaves her mother and grandmother
in rural Tennessee for a more cosmopolitan life in Washington, DC
with her great-grandmother, it's unclear whether this complex and
self-contained girl will thrive or be overwhelmed by the fears and
dreams of three generations she carries. As she grows into a gutsy
young woman, Camille must decide for herself what happiness will
look like. In masterful, elegant prose, debut novelist Sarai
Johnson has created a rich and moving portrait of Black women's
lives today.
