Reborn

Five years have passed since Mignon Samuels first discovered the priceless journal that chronicles the lives of the strong women who came before her. Now, she’s ready to add her own history to that of the four previous generations documented inside. But it won’t be just her story, it will also reach back to her mother’s people–the entire Daniels clan. Mignon’s journey takes her back to several moments in time, including the early days of her grandparents’ marriage and the troubles they faced–troubles that in some ways mirror her own. Their offspring–her mother Ana, Uncle Eddie and aunts Odele and Sofia–each had their own mountain to climb: womanizing, drug addiction, even murder. They have sought the healing power of God, but it will take years, perhaps decades, for those who survive to really see the light. As she learns more about her family’s sometimes-murky past, Mignon uncovers a secret that turns her world upside-down. Her sense of self is shaken as she deals with a life-altering revelation and a deeper loss. Yet, like her proud ancestors, she knows the value of experiencing rebirth; and her future, along with that of her family, will be changed forever.
