Description
Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of the American Dream. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. Their love is tested when Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime Celestial knows he didn't commit. This heart-wrenching novel explores the devastating effects of a wrongful conviction on a young African-American couple and the profound impact on their lives. As Celestial struggles to hold on to the love that has been her centre, she finds comfort in Andre, their closest friend. When Roy's conviction is suddenly overturned, he returns home ready to resume their life together. A masterpiece of storytelling, An American Marriage offers a profoundly insightful look into the hearts and minds of three unforgettable characters who are at once bound together and separated by forces beyond their control.
