Description
A deeply emotional novel of family, cultural heritage, and forgiveness, Where Wild Peaches Grow is a story of estranged sisters wrestling with the choices they've made and confronting circumstances beyond their control. Nona Davenport has built a promising life in Chicago as a professor of African American Studies, but her return to her Mississippi home forces her to confront the past. Julia Curtis, on the other hand, has moved on from old family wounds, building a new life with a child, a career, and a determination to leave the past behind. As Nona's cautious reunion unfolds, everything they thought they knew about themselves, each other, and those they loved will be tested. The truth about why Nona left may finally heal their frayed bond - or tear it apart again. This novel explores the complexities of family relationships, forgiveness, and the power of confronting the past to shape a better future.
