A Southern Black family saga about the secrets that hold a family together and the truth that finally tears them apart. Cornell Jones has the mansion, the law degree, and the last name that opens doors. What he doesn't have is peace. Not with the grandmother who raised him. Not with the mother he barely remembers. Not with the truth about how his family really got here. It starts with a preacher's scandal: a married man of God and the woman who becomes his secret, then his obsession, then his wife. It moves through a courtroom drama that drags a small Georgia town's cruelty into the light, and two adopted brothers who survive it by choosing each other as family when no one else will. It builds toward a wedding day that erupts into chaos when a loaded gun comes through the church doors, and it doesn't end until twenty years of multigenerational drama finally collapse into the truth at a graveside. At the center of it all is Billie Jean Jones: a woman who will lie, forge documents, and go to war with her own children to protect the people she loves - even as her love becomes the very thing that traps them. Is she a savior or a kidnapper? A survivor or a criminal? The answer, like everything else in this family, is both. Our Family Secrets: When Sin Becomes Ugly is raw, unflinching contemporary African American fiction for readers who love sprawling family sagas where love and damage live in the same house, and where the truth, once it comes out, changes everything.
