A birthday gift. Two authors. One promise to read the same book.

And, we did!!!!

Well, wait… in full disclosure, we were technically testing Zoom ahead of Amanda’s Reputation launch on August 30, and in doing so, we recorded our book discussion.

What you have here is a front-row seat to two authors and avid readers debating Covey, Benny, Byron, family secrets, Caribbean identity, parenthood, survival, and one very loaded question:

What are you willing to do?

This video has spoilers, disagreements, good cheer, lots of opinions and a huge dollop of love (on the Black Cake).

Check out the conversation. 📚🎞️

“THE PLOT: ‘Black Cake’ by Charmaine Wilkerson is a multi-generational and multi-cultural family saga with a dual timeline and multiple points of view. In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett leaves behind a puzzling inheritance for her two children: a family recipe for traditional Caribbean black cake and a voice recording. In her recording, Eleanor shares a young woman’s heart-breaking journey from her island home but the story challenges everything the siblings thought they knew about their family. Can they piece together Eleanor’s true history and fulfil her final request to “share the black cake when the time is right?”

As I intimated above, Amanda and I will be chatting again next weekend on the occasion of the launch of her debut novel, Reputation. Join us.
