“Is home the place where we are born? Or is it the place where we die?” These questions haunt Magnolia, a successful Haitian American real estate agent in Miami. When she hears gunfire while at a shopping mall, she takes shelter in a nearby restaurant, cowering with fellow shoppers and diners. Once she’s safely home, Magnolia keeps this traumatic event from everyone. But given her life back, she begins to see everything clearly: her extraordinary bond with her daughter, Zoë; her nearly broken relationship with Zoë’s father; the challenges of her mentally troubled mother, whose unraveling patterns Magnolia worries she’s spiraling toward herself; and her father’s affair with a woman who has borne him a child. While struggling through the labyrinth of her past, Magnolia must also come to terms with the losses sustained that life-altering day, and nearly every day by her parents and sibling in Haiti.

Can love or family protect us from harm? Does optimism or fear win out in one’s heart? Which side will prevail for Magnolia? Pulled between these questions, each of which involves a high-stakes choice—Miami or Haiti, single or married, mortal or ghost, before or after—Magnolia is a narrator who is “yon pati koukouy, part firefly”: flitting and shimmering between different worlds.

Taking as its title a Haitian Kreyòl word for mourning, Dèy is a profoundly warm and moving novel about the importance not only of sharing grief but also of inseverable family ties. Brave and striking, Dèy is one of Danticat’s most powerful and deeply affecting works yet, told with her signature “unfaltering voice and evocative beauty” (The Boston Globe).","format",{"_118":40,"_33":76,"_174":175,"_176":64},"publisher","page_count","duration","published_date","August 25, 2026","pub_date","August 25","isbn","0593803523","asin","hex_code","#c2aa6e","language","English","purchase_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/5754i/8ed0fc46-54b0-48bd-b9d0-666f2615c475/1787673629.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F5754i%2F8ed0fc46-54b0-48bd-b9d0-666f2615c475%2F1787673629.jpg","user_review","type","print","audio",{"_118":178,"_33":110,"_148":179,"_180":-5,"_181":-5,"_182":42,"_183":184,"_185":47},"9ba016d2-b97d-422c-81b3-5e58db82299d","842-edwidge-danticat","biography","image","books_count","roles",[186],"in_catalog","author","913ad3b8-ccf9-4d9e-bf0e-12512b0cd4a7",5859,"3.75",4,[],[207],"Red at the Bone","70d891bc-8e87-4fce-ad43-5b077cb15516",2019,"Sep 2019","2019-09-17","5969-red-at-the-bone","Moving forward and backward in time, Jacqueline Woodson's taut and powerful new novel uncovers the role that history and community have played in the experiences, decisions, and relationships of these families, and in the life of the new child.

As the book opens in 2001, it is the evening of sixteen-year-old Melody's coming of age ceremony in her grandparents' Brooklyn brownstone. Watched lovingly by her relatives and friends, making her entrance to the music of Prince, she wears a special custom-made dress. But the event is not without poignancy. Sixteen years earlier, that very dress was measured and sewn for a different wearer: Melody's mother, for her own ceremony-- a celebration that ultimately never took place.

Unfurling the history of Melody's parents and grandparents to show how they all arrived at this moment, Woodson considers not just their ambitions and successes but also the costs, the tolls they've paid for striving to overcome expectations and escape the pull of history. As it explores sexual desire and identity, ambition, gentrification, education, class and status, and the life-altering facts of parenthood, Red at the Bone most strikingly looks at the ways in which young people must so often make long-lasting decisions about their lives--even before they have begun to figure out who they are and what they want to be.",{"_118":40,"_33":76,"_174":175,"_176":64},"September 17, 2019","September 17","9780525535270",[],"https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/5859i/70d891bc-8e87-4fce-ad43-5b077cb15516/1788211949.jpg","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F5859i%2F70d891bc-8e87-4fce-ad43-5b077cb15516%2F1788211949.jpg",{"_118":208,"_33":109,"_148":209,"_180":-5,"_181":-5,"_182":42,"_183":210,"_185":47},"ebb2da2f-20c6-4f76-8e88-d282c1af4eea","875-jacqueline-woodson",[186],161,"Literary Fiction","category","genre","literary-fiction","/genres/literary-fiction","selectable","sensitive","position","parent","isLoggedIn",["P",222],"result",{"_21":231,"_23":232,"_19":233,"_234":235,"_25":236,"_237":238,"_27":239},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_250":64,"_251":64},{"_29":30,"_31":240,"_33":231,"_241":242,"_243":244,"_25":236},"Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[245,246,247,248,249],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
