A beguiling and electric commentary on class, race, and trauma. With sensual and gritty prose, this tale of grief and control expertly mounts unease and anger, mirroring the stages of grief and transformation with haunting ease. Magnolia’s journey from vulnerable and uncertain, to ensnared in webs of deception and desire, to independent and self assured, is one that readers will quickly become invested in; she is a champion of women who bloom at night, who know the call of the wind in the trees, who are nurturing their wings to soar. An amazingly strong and enchanting debut.

Thank you so much to Goodreads and to Monica Brashears for this ARC, please look for House of Cotton in April 2023!
