Description
Laila Ibrahim's Mustard Seed is a haunting and tender story about three women who return to their past. Three years after the Civil War, Lisbeth Johnson, Mattie, and Jordan Freedman reunite at the plantation where they once called home. The women have an unlikely bond that goes beyond friendship. As they confront the injustice and bitterness of their past, Lisbeth must face her father's dying days, while Jordan and Mattie return to Fair Oaks to save the family they left behind. For Lisbeth, it's a time for reconciliation; for Jordan and Mattie, it's a chance for liberation. The women must find the courage to free their families - and themselves - from the past. In this powerful novel, Ibrahim explores themes of family, oppression, and the struggle for freedom.
