Taffy

Taffy

Welcome to the sleepy, all-Black southern town of Bledsoe, where Colored residents proudly declare â€œainâ€™t nothing white here â€˜cept milk and teeth.â€ Itâ€™s 1935. A press-and-curl costs a quarter. Records play on phonographs. And a telephone is a luxury. Meet twenty-three-year-old Taffy Bledsoe Freeman. She doesnâ€™t need her gift of second sight to know her â€œmockery of a marriageâ€ to a man twice her age is far from good. After a seven-year exile Up North, Taffy travels down-home to the small town bearing her familyâ€™s name, plotting her escape from a marriage not worth the price of a press-and-curl. She only needs to retrieve the son her husband banished to her parentsâ€™ care, before boarding a train headed for the Windy City filled with liberty and opportunity. Instead, Taffy stumbles into Roam Ellis: the man Taffy meant to marry. Twenty-six-year-old Roam Ellis is a â€œbroad-shouldered, hard-bodiedâ€ Pullman porter riding the rails coast-to-coast, outrunning the bitter heartbreak Taffy left behind. Now, after a seven-year absence, Roam is face-to-face with his first love. Anger ignites. Old wounds are exposed. But when pain subsides, passion rises, thrusting Taffy and Roam into a hurricane of buried secrets and lies. Reminiscent of the works of Bernice McFadden, Bertice Berry, and Andrea Smith (The Sisterhood of Blackberry Corner) this Historical Romance is bathed in southern lore and sweeping imagery. Lyrical and powerful, Taffy is a story of restoration and redemption that you wonâ€™t soon forget.
