When the bonds in their family begin to fray, four Black women fight to preserve their legacy, heal their wounds, and move forward together in this heartwarming contemporary debut novel with loose parallels to beloved women from the Bible.
๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค:
The four women of the Gardin family live side-by-side in Edin, Georgia, but residing in tight proximity doesnโt mean everything is picture-perfect. Ruth runs the familyโs multimillion-dollar peanut business, a legacy of the Gardinsโ formerly enslaved ancestors. But tensions have intensified since the death of her husband, Beau, and she feels like an outsider in the very place she wishes to belong.
Sisters Mary and Martha fuel the family tension. Marthaโs unfounded mistrust of Ruth causes her to constantly seek ways to undermine Ruthโs decisions with the business, while Mary, trying to focus on her new restaurant that serves healthy comfort food, is dragged into the family fray by Martha.
For years, Naomi, the matriarch who raised the sisters after their parentsโ death and supported Ruth in her grief, has played peacemaker. But as she decides to take a step back, hidden truths, life-and-death circumstances, and escalating clashes finally force the Gardin women to grapple with what it means to be a family.
