I have some news that I’ve been holding close to my heart—and today, I finally get to share it with you.
My debut novel, The Orange Blossom, will be released this fall through Hezzie Mae Book Publishing!
As someone who has spent a lifetime immersed in stories—whether through teaching, podcasting, or public speaking—this moment feels surreal. Writing The Orange Blossom has been a journey of love, truth, and deep reflection. This book is not just a story; it’s a love letter to my people of Liberia, a celebration of our culture, and a powerful exploration of identity, resilience, and hope.
💛 Why The Orange Blossom?
I chose the title The Orange Blossom because it symbolizes both fragility and strength—qualities I see in my characters and in the Liberian spirit. This novel is filled with authentic, inspiring, captivating, moving, and poignant moments that I hope will stir your soul.
Each character came to life with such urgency and energy, reminding me why I’ve always loved storytelling. They are engaging, exciting, and undeniably human—a reflection of the people and history that shaped me.
✨ What You Can Expect
A vivid, heart-forward narrative rooted in Liberian heritage
Characters that feel like family
Themes of homecoming, healing, and hope
A reading experience that’s rich in culture and emotion
If you’ve ever craved stories that speak truth and honor the beauty of Black culture—this is the book for you.
