Sadeqa Johnson recommends
All We Were Promised (2024)
Ashton Lattimore
"As beautifully written as it is historically sound, and ripe with the overwhelming struggle to right America's greatest wrong: slavery."
The House of Plain Truth (2024)
Donna Hemans
"Emotionally honest, The House of Plain Truth is ripe with secrets and sacrifice. Teeming with family drama, and lush descriptions that leapt off the page and rooted me in place. Hemans' writing is lyrical and her characters stayed with me long after the book was over."
The American Queen (2024)
Vanessa Miller
"The American Queen brings to light another hidden triumph in Black American history. Queen Louella is frankly a woman that everyone should know. Filled with bravery and cultural beauty, this marvel of a novel transported me while educating me on the sheer determination of an emancipated community to not only survive but to also thrive."
