We are so excited for local author Sadeqa Johnson's new book, Yellow Wife, out January 12! Here are just a few of the glowing reviews it has received...

"Johnson is unsparing in her depiction of the physical, psychological, and spiritual damages wrought by slavery and realistic in her portrayal of the heroism of Pheby and others in resisting it -- they cannot change the world, but they do what they can, and sometimes that's extraordinary... [an] ultimately moving story anchored by a complex narrator." -- KIRKUS, Starred Review

"Seldom do I get to enjoy a novel so wholly engrossing, so exquisitely researched, so timely. Sadeqa Johnson has brought a fresh telling to a story we think we already know, making it beautifully relatable and human. Riveting and suspenseful, I highly recommend this novel."- -Kathleen Grissom New York Times Best selling author of Glory Over Everything and The Kitchen House
