From Honorée Fanonne Jeffers comes a sweeping, powerful, and deeply layered novel about identity, history, and the generations that shape us.

Ailey Pearl Garfield has always felt the weight of expectation—from her accomplished family, from her community, and from history itself.

As she grows up, she begins to question who she is and where she belongs.

Her journey leads her into the past.

Through research and family stories, Ailey uncovers the lives of her ancestors—tracing generations of Black, Indigenous, and white heritage in the American South. What she finds is a history marked by oppression, resilience, trauma, and survival.

As past and present intertwine, Ailey must come to terms with the truth of her lineage—and what it means for her future.

Spanning centuries, this epic narrative explores slavery, racism, family legacy, and the enduring strength of those who came before.

Rich, poetic, and emotionally powerful, The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois is a story about identity, memory, and the voices that carry through generations.
