Description

The Davenports are one of the few Black families of immense wealth and status in a changing United States. Their fortune was built by William Davenport, a formerly enslaved man who founded the Davenport Carriage Company years ago.

For Olivia, the eldest Davenport daughter, duty comes first - until charismatic civil rights leader Washington DeWight sweeps into town and sparks fly. Her younger sister Helen has other plans, while childhood friend Amy-Rose dreams of opening her own business and winning the heart of John Davenport, brother to both sisters.

As these four determined young Black women navigate love, family pressure, and their own ambitions, they discover the courage to steer their own path in life. Inspired by real-life stories of resilience and determination, The Davenports is a story about finding your voice and forging your own way.
