Amelia Greensburg's life is a testament to perseverance amid adversity. Born to Holocaust survivors on a cargo ship, she faced and transcended discrimination and strife from an early age. Her union with Liam Bryce was marked by trials stemming from war's effects and familial discord but also by enduring love and shared tribulations. The couple's journey included the heartache of losing an infant and Liam's struggles with PTSD, punctuated by the challenging dynamics of family life and personal hardship. Confronting her own generational burdens, their daughter Elizabeth grapples with the shadows of her parents' and siblings' experiences. High school pressures, fear of failure, and the lure of forbidden love shape her path, which veers into the realms of domestic abuse and silent endurance within a troubled marriage to Ethan. As she bravely faces her own battles with PTSD, cancer, and the complexities of new love with Adam, her quest for serenity is marred by loss and the search for self amidst the chaos of life. Elizabeth's resiliency echoes through her fight for education and her dream of a bakery business, even as she cares for Adam through his own health crises. Adam's decline and eventual passing thrust Elizabeth into a bittersweet introspection at 38, wrestling with her identity and the overwhelming rush of support from those she holds dear.

At the end of the American Revolution, Elizabeth Freeman was an enslaved widow and mother living in Massachusetts. Hearing the words of the new Massachusetts state constitution which declared liberty and equality for all, she sought the help of a young lawyer named Theodore Sedgwick, later Speaker of the House and one of America's leading Federalist politicians. The lawsuit that she and Sedgwick pursued would bring freedom to her and her daughter, as well as thousands of other enslaved people. After leaving her enslaver's family to work for the family of Theodore Sedgwick, she effectively became the foster mother to his seven children when his wife Pamela became a chronic invalid, enabling Sedgwick to pursue his political career. Two of his sons would credit her with saving their lives. His daughter Catharine Maria Sedgwick, one of the most famous female novelists of the early decades of the nineteenth century, would make her the model for one of her most celebrated heroines. This biography details Elizabeth Freeman's life and the far-reaching influence of her battle for freedom.

Soul Sisters by Lesley Lokko is a rich, intergenerational tale of love, race, power and secrets which centres on the lifelong friendship between two women: Scottish Jen McFadden and South African-born Kemisa Mashabane, known to her friends as Kemi. Since childhood, Jen and Kemi have lived like sisters in the McFadden family home in Edinburgh, brought together by a shared family history which stretches back generations. Kemi was educated in Britain alongside Jen and the girls could not be closer; nor could they be more different in the paths they take in life. But the ties that bind them are strong and complicated, and a dark family secret exists in their joint history. Solam Rhoyi is from South Africa’s black political elite. Handsome, charismatic, charming, and a successful young banker, he meets both Kemi and Jen on a trip to London and sweeps them off their feet. Partly influenced by her interest in Solam, and partly on a journey of self-discovery, Kemi, now 31, decides to return to the country of her birth for the first time. Jen, seeking an escape from her father’s overbearing presence, decides to go with her. In Johannesburg, it becomes clear that Solam is looking for the perfect wife to facilitate his soaring political ambitions. But who will he choose? All the while, the real story behind the two families’ connection threatens to reveal itself – with devastating consequences . . .
