April Women & Words - "The House of Plain Truth" by Donna Hemans
2 hours
Please join Ellevate DC for our April Women & Words discussion surrounding "The House of Plain Truth" by Donna Hemans
Donna will be attending IN PERSON to lead our book club discussion! She is local to the DMV area!
When Pearline receives grave news about her ailing father, she abruptly leaves Brooklyn for her childhood home in Jamaica. But Pearline isn’t prepared for a tense reunion with her sisters or for her father’s startling deathbed wish that she repair their long-broken family legacy and find the sister and two brothers no one has seen in more than 50 years.
Moving through time and place, from modern-day Brooklyn and Montego Bay to 1930s Havana and back again, The House of Plain Truth is a journey through generational secrets and a family coming to terms with its past.
Inspired by the author's own history, this soulful novel explores a fascinating story of immigration, divided loyalties, and what one woman must sacrifice in her attempt to find home.
