A chance to set them all free. When Ebby Freeman trave ls to France to take a three-month hiatus from her complicated home life, the last person she expects to find is her ex-fiancé Henry, with his new girlfriend in tow. Nearly twenty years earlier, the Freemans were the only African American family living in a wealthy coastal enclave in Connecticut when armed robbers invaded their home and tragedy changed their lives forever. Then, just as Ebby thought she had a new chance at happiness, her storybook romance with Henry fell apart. Now, this unexpected encounter with Henry will force Ebby to reckon with her past and to think on the other loss her family suffered that day - the destruction of a beloved stoneware jar crafted by an enslaved ancestor and passed down through the generations. A piece that might hold not only her family history, but also the key to reclaiming her future. -- 'One of the great multi-generational storytellers of our time' ABI DARE, author of THE GIRL WITH THE LOUDING VOICE 'I'm in utter awe of Charmaine - she is the real real' HARRIET CONSTABLE, author of THE INSTRUMENTALIST 'Her brilliance knows no adequate words' ORE AGBAJE WILLIAMS, author of THE THREE OF US Praise for Charmaine Wilkerson and Black Cake: 'Completely blew me away' Red 'Unputdownable.
