Story
Jasmyn and King Williams move their family to the planned Black utopia of Liberty, California hoping to find a community of like-minded people, a place where their growing family can thrive. King settles in at once, embracing the Liberty ethos, including the luxe wellness center at the top of the hill, which proves to be the heart of the community. But Jasmyn struggles to find her place. She expected to find liberals and social justice activists striving for racial equality, but Liberty residents seem more focused on booking spa treatments and ignoring the world’s troubles.

Love Makes Us Do Strange Things
Reviewed: 07-08-24
This book was so amazing. Obviously the writing but also hearing it helped bring it to life. I could see myself in this book and so I felt extremely close to the main character. I love how the author weaved in the real life experiences of black women as they move through the world as moms, wives and friends. I still couldn’t have expected the ending and it fit so well. It’s like sci-fi meets romance.
