Description
Beguiling stories of Black women and girls navigating the complexities of desire, identity, and community.
This collection of nine stories explores the raw and tender places where women dare to follow their desires and pursue a momentary reprieve from being good. With their secret longings, new love, and forbidden affairs, these women are as seductive as they want to be, as vulnerable as they need to be, and as free as they deserve to be.
With a focus on the intricacies of human relationships and the search for self, this powerful and moving collection is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in contemporary fiction and the experiences of Black women.
