God Help the Child
The past has a hold like no other...
Sweetness wants to Love her child, Bride, but she struggles to Love her as a mother should.
Bride, now glamorous, grown up, ebony-black and panther-like, wants to Love her man, Booker, but she finds herself betrayed by a moment in her past, a moment borne of a desperate burn for the Love of her mother. Booker cannot fathom Bride`s depths, with his own love-lorn past bending him out of shape. Can they find a way through the damage wrought on their blameless childhood souls, to light and happiness, free from pain?
Toni Morrison`s fierce and provocative new novel exposes the damage adults wreak on children, and how this echoes through the generations.
