| book description |

From the two-time Emmy Awardâ€“winning producer and host of theÂ Black & PublishedÂ podcast comes a sweeping multi-generational epic following seven generations of Dupree women as they navigate love, loss, and the unyielding ties of family in the tradition ofÂ HomegoingÂ andÂ The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois. Itâ€™s 1995, and fourteen-year-old Tati is determined to uncover the identity of her father. But her mother, Nadia, keeps her secrets close, while her grandmother Gladys remains silent about the familyâ€™s past, including why she left Landâ€™s End, Alabama, in 1953. As Tati digs deeper, she uncovers a legacy of family secrets, where every generation of Dupree women has posed more questions than answers. From Jubi in 1917, whose attempt to pass for white ends when she gives birth to Ruby; to Rubyâ€™s fiery lust for Sampson in 1934 that leads to a baby of her own; to the night in 1980 that changed Nadiaâ€™s future forever, the Dupree women carry the weight of their heritage. Bound by a mysterious malediction that means they will only give birth to daughters, the Dupree women confront a legacy of pain, resilience, and survival that began with an enslaved ancestor who risked everything for freedom. The Seven Daughters of DupreeÂ masterfully weaves together themes of generational trauma, Black womenâ€™s resilience, and unbreakable familial bonds. Nikesha Elise Williams delivers a feminist literary fiction that explores the ripple effects of actions, secrets, and love through seven generations of Black women. 'Transcendent' ELIZABETH GILBERT, author of City of Girls
