Description

Mama Day is a powerful story of love, belonging, magic and inheritance. Set on an island between Georgia and South Carolina, the novel follows Mama Day, a healer whose hands have delivered almost every soul on the island, as she navigates the darker powers that threaten her family and community.

With its rich cultural heritage and blend of culture, heartbreak, joy, magic, terror, laughter, pain and love, this exceptional novel is a breathtaking tale of one woman's struggle to save those she loves from the island's forces. A masterful exploration of the beauty and tenacity of Black lives.

With a new introduction by Robert Jones, Jr, this masterpiece has been hailed as one of the most extraordinary novels of its time.
