Join us as we discuss Charmaine Wilkerson’s latest Good Dirt.  The daughter of an affluent Black family pieces together the connection between a childhood tragedy and a beloved heirloom in this moving novel from the bestselling author of Black Cake, Charmaine Wilkerson.  In this sweeping, evocative novel, Charmaine Wilkerson brings to life a multi-generational epic that examines how the past informs our present.
