Black Girls Must Die Exhausted

Jayne Allen

At thirty-three, Tabitha Walker appears to have carefully built the life she always wanted: a promising career, a stable relationship, and a future mapped out according to plan. But an unexpected medical diagnosis forces her to confront the possibility that motherhood may not be part of that future, challenging her assumptions about success, love, and having it all. Supported by her fiercely loyal best friends, her grandmother, and an unforgettable elder with wisdom to spare, Tabitha navigates difficult choices, demanding treatments, and the limits of her relationships. With warmth, humor, and emotional honesty, this contemporary novel explores Black womanhood, friendship, ambition, reproductive health, and the cost of pursuing a dream.
