Named a Best Book of the Month by: Shondaland, MS. Magazine, TODAY.com, Reader's Digest, Katie Couric Media, AARP Sisters, Goodreads, BookRiot
A warm and wry family drama with a magical twist about four generations of Black women, a family love curse, and the secrets they keep for and from each other over one very complicated year
Generations of Montrose womenâAugusta, Victoria, Willowâhave always lived together in their quaint California bungalow. They keep to themselves, never venture far from home, and their collection of tinctures and spells is an unspoken bond between them. But when young Nickie Montrose brings home a boy for the first time, their quiet lives are thrown into disarray.
For the family has withheld a crucial secret from Nickie all these years: any person a Montrose woman falls in love with will die. Their surprise guest forces each woman to reckon with her own past choices and mistakes. And as new truths about the curse emerge, they're set on a collision course dating back to 1950s New Orleans's French Quarterâwhere a hidden story in a mysterious book may just hold the answers they seek in life and in love...
"Richly imagined and elegantly told, with plenty of satisfying secrets, heartaches, and twists."
âSadeqa Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of The House of Eve, a Reese's Book Club Pick
"Propulsive and poignant, Black Candle Women concocts an intoxicating potion of warmth, wisdom, and wonder." âAva DuVernay
