Description

In this powerful debut novel, four Black siblings return to their family’s ancestral land in Mississippi, only to find the home and legacy they have inherited under threat. As they confront forces determined to claim the property, each sibling must reckon with painful histories, buried tensions, and the meaning of belonging. Exploring family, racial injustice, generational trauma, resilience, and the enduring power of land, the story offers a moving portrait of a community fighting to preserve what is theirs. Lyrical and emotionally resonant, it celebrates the bonds that connect us to one another—and to those who came before.
