*Instant New York Times Bestseller*<\/p>\n

The Davenports delivers a totally escapist, swoon-worthy romance while offering a glimpse into a period of African American history often overlooked.<\/p>\n

“The perfect read for fans of escapist historical fiction.\u201d (NBC\u2019s TODAY)<\/p>\n

The Davenports are one of the few Black families of immense wealth and status in a changing United States, their fortune made through the entrepreneurship of William Davenport, a formerly enslaved man who founded the Davenport Carriage Company years ago. Now it’s 1910, and the Davenports live surrounded by servants, crystal chandeliers, and endless parties, finding their way and finding love\u2014even where they\u2019re not supposed to.<\/p>\n

There is Olivia, the beautiful elder Davenport daughter, ready to do her duty by getting married…until she meets the charismatic civil rights leader Washington DeWight and sparks fly. The younger daughter, Helen, is more interested in fixing cars than falling in love\u2014unless it\u2019s with her sister\u2019s suitor. Amy-Rose, the childhood friend turned maid to the Davenport sisters, dreams of opening her own business\u2014and marrying the one man she could never be with, Olivia and Helen\u2019s brother, John. But Olivia\u2019s best friend, Ruby, also has her sights set on John Davenport, though she can\u2019t seem to keep his interest . . . until family pressure has her scheming to win his heart, just as someone else wins hers.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the real-life story of the Patterson family, The Davenports is the tale of four determined and passionate young Black women discovering the courage to steer their own path in life\u2014and love.<\/p>\n

“The Davenports has it all: romance, heartbreak, courage.” (Ebony)<\/p>\n

“A fresh, utterly enchanting read.\u201d (Ayana Gray, New York Times best-selling author of the Beasts of Prey trilogy)<\/p>\n

“Deftly written…. A dazzling debut.” (Kirkus)<\/p>\n
