The Sweetness of Water
A powerful and moving debut novel that explores the complexities of human relationships in the aftermath of slavery. Landry and Prentiss, two brothers born into bondage, find themselves at the mercy of Farmer George Walker and his wife Isabelle after being freed during the American Civil War.
As they navigate their new lives, tentative bonds of trust begin to form between the strangers, but this sanctuary is fragile and threatened by tragedy. The inhabitants of the nearby town turn their suspicion onto these new friendships with devastating consequences.
