We cannot choose what we inherit. Can we choose what we inherit?
Eleanor Bennett, a woman who died in California today, left behind a puzzle for her children, Byron, and Benny. The inheritance was a recipe of a black cake that has a long family history and a voice record. Eleanor Bennett shares in her message a story of a young, headstrong swimmer who fled her island home on suspicion of murder. Eleanor's heartbreaking story, her secrets and the mystery surrounding a long lost child will challenge all that the siblings believed they knew about themselves and their family.
Can Byron and Benny reclaim the close relationship they once had, uncover Eleanor's past, and honor her last request to "share black cake at the right time"? Will their mother’s revelations bring the two back together, or will they feel more lost than before?
Charmaine Wilkerson’s debut novel tells the story of how betrayals and secrets can influence relationships and history. Black Cake, a deeply evocative novel beautifully written by Charmaine Wilkerson, is a journey through the family life of one matriarch who changed the lives of her entire family forever.
