Here’s your chance to reserve a signed paperback
Hey y’all!
All my CAROLINA BUILT fans, all my history nerds, all by #BlackGirlMagic folks, come to the front of the class!
As promised, I’m here to tell you more about A CUT ABOVE, and give you that sweet, sweet link where you can reserve a signed edition, before anybody else. First, here’s the blurb/description:
From the author of CAROLINA BUILT comes the compelling story of Octavius Williams, the younger brother and only sibling of Josephine Napoleon Williams Leary. In 1893, as the Gilded Age waned and the turn of the 20th century loomed, Octavius and his pregnant wife Missouri made history by becoming the first Black residents of LeDroit Park, a neighborhood in the northeastern part of Washington, D.C. The Williamses bold decision to integrate the area would pave the way for LeDroit Park to become a storied and culturally rich enclave, home to the likes of Paul Laurence Dunbar, Mary Church Terrel, and Dr. Anna Julia Haywood Cooper. Follow the couples’ experiences including encountering violent whites who didn’t want them there, raising their daughter Vivian in a new city nearly 250 miles from their home and family in Edenton, and Octavius obtaining a position as an official barber at the US Capitol. A CUT ABOVE is a tale of courage, perseverance, family, love, and the triumph of the human spirit.
