Ashmilk, (Paperback)

<p><b>A stolen child. A mother's curse. A reckoning generations in the making.</b></p><p>In the blistering heart of the post-Reconstruction South, Lavinia-once a child of Eden Plantation, now a haunted woman-sets out to reclaim what was taken from her: her daughter, Mercy, ripped from her arms and renamed by the very family that once owned them both.</p><p></p><p>Now Mercy wears lace gloves and answers to the name "Mary Elizabeth." Raised in a white household under the rule of the righteous Emmeline Darnell, she is poised, proper-and utterly unaware of her true blood.</p><p></p><p>But Lavinia remembers. And Lavinia does not forget.</p><p></p><p>From candlelit root cellars and dirt roads to revival tents and courthouse steps, Ashmilk weaves a gothic Southern tale of Black motherhood, ancestral rage, spiritual resistance, and the power of names that cannot be buried.</p><p></p><p>Lyrical, lush, and burning with truth, Amanda Malcolm's debut novel is a searing hymn of remembrance for every voice erased and every mother left screaming in the dark.</p><p></p><p><b>Perfect for readers of Toni Morrison, Jesmyn Ward, and Colson Whitehead.</b></p><p></p><p><b>Will you follow Lavinia into the fire?</b></p>
