From Tayari Jones, author of the New York Times best-selling An American Marriage, and performed by Gabrielle Union, one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020, comes an unflinching story about mothers and sons that will leave listeners reeling for days.

Motherhood isn’t easy, especially when you’re a mother of a Black son. Ten years ago, Cheryl jumped at the chance to send her son, Javonte, to an exclusive boarding school in New England - far away from Atlanta and the violence of the city streets. It was the American dream, or was it? Now settled in Vermont, Javonte is married and well-employed, but Cheryl hardly ever sees him, and when she does, her own son seems like someone she only used to know. So, when Javonte announces he’s coming home to Atlanta for MLK weekend, Cheryl calls off work, thinking this could be their chance to reconnect.

But a few days before the visit, Javonte cancels his trip.

After begging for the hours back at the white glove moving company where she works, Cheryl accepts a last-minute gig in her own neighborhood, cheered by the idea of a Black family moving on to bigger and better. But on her way to the job site, Cheryl learns the home’s occupants aren’t moving by choice. Over the next several hours, Cheryl must reckon with her own unresolved past in this searing story about family, race, and the lasting consequences of a choice that can’t be taken back.

About the Performer

Gabrielle Union is an actress, executive producer, activist, bestselling author, and most recently, a Time 100 cover honoree. Union starred opposite Jessica Alba on L.A.’s Finest, a Charter Spectrum original in which she was also an executive producer through her production shingle, I’ll Have Another Productions. The show received a 13-episode straight-to-season order for season one, and season two premiered on September 9, 2020. FOX picked up season one as part of their fall 2020 slate and it premiered on that network on September 21, 2020.

Let me be the first to admit; I AM NOT a Gabrielle Union fan. Well, I was at one time and then it changed.

I have decided to change yet again. She was remarkable; transported me back to the SWAT...

The story, excellent, superb, gripping and touching all wrapped in one. Once I hit submit I am looking for the next Tayari Jones novel.

AWESOME!!!

Amazing how a good author doesn't need to take up lots of space to captive the reader and leave them spinning at the end in awe at the raw emotions left behind. I am amazed how in so little space I am able to glimpse into the challenges, pain, & suffering of each character in her book. It is heartbreaking yet a story I am sure shared by many others in a similar fashion or perhaps a bit of the story needs tweaking but nevertheless the bottom line remains the same.

I am thoroughly impressed and grateful I found this book and read it. I definitely recommend it. 👍

Short yet incredibly powerful!

Although, I loved the clear intentions and thought being doing the best you can, with the dispositions one can be found in. However I can’t help but feel like the characters have so much more to explore and no-one was left with closure.

I loved the authors intentions

Great short story

I like the narration for this story. A glimpse into one of many Black experiences in America. More apt is to say being poor in this country. The way the world views educated people of color in jobs others find menial without knowing their circumstances is shown here in the many characters. It deserves to be discussed, picked apart and analyzed so we can grow beyond this stagnant mindset.

Well done

Short but very enjoyable
