The Mothers
A Novel
Brit Bennett
This emotionally perceptive novel explores community, love, and ambition through the lens of a contemporary black community in Southern California. The story begins with a secret and follows the lives of three young adults who are still haunted by decisions made during their high school years, including a teenage pregnancy and subsequent cover-up. Through beautiful, lyrical prose, readers will be drawn into the characters' struggles with questions of what might have been and the weight of their past decisions on their present and future lives.

@DHeiligman @unlikelybkstore @rebeccamakkai I LOVED that book. Reading @britrbennett's The Vanishing Half and it's amazing. So was The Mothers. – source
