NAACP nominee and bestselling author Beverly Jenkins returns
to Henry Adams, Kansas—an
unforgettable place that anyone would want to call home—with
a story of family, friends,
and the powerful forces from our past that can irrevocably
shape our future.
Mayor Trent July and his wife Lily are enjoying life as
newlyweds and embracing the
challenges and joys that come with being foster parents to
two wonderful boys. But being a
foster father has inevitably forced him to think about his
own birth mother. Raised by his
grandmother Tamar—and in many ways the good people of Henry
Adams—Trent was blessed with a
childhood full of love.
But now he can’t help wondering what happened to the scared
teenage girl who handed him
over to Tamar. And questions that he’s never voiced are now
begging to be answered: Who
was she? Is she still alive? Why didn’t she want him?
Trent has always believed no good comes from dwelling on the
past, especially when you
have a loving family, a strong community, and folks who
depend on him. But when the past
comes to Henry Adams and Trent has no choice but to face
it—and the woman who left him
behind. The truth will shake his very being and everything
he thought he knew about life,
love, and the bonds that hold families together…yet can also
tear them apart.
