Bernice McFadden

From Bernice L. McFadden, one of the most cherished voices in contemporary fiction, comes a dramatic family saga spanning two generations of one mixed-race family during the second half of the 20th century.

Narrator:  Ron Domingo

Playful, too, though fueled by a scathing satiric vision, Bernice L. McFadden's "OBF, Inc." portrays a society so thoroughly imbued with racism that an ingenious entrepreneur has commercialized it as public relations damage control.  Here is an insidious political noir in which the targets of racism can profit from it if they are willing to sell their souls to be identified as the "one black friend" of racist clients.

The Bernice L. McFadden Collection features four novels from the three-time Hurston/Wright Legacy Award finalist: Gathering of Waters (a New York Times Editors’ Choice and one of the 100 Notable Books of 2012), Glorious (2010), Nowhere Is a Place (2006), and The Warmest December (2001).

Gathering of Waters is a deeply engrossing tale narrated by the town of Money, Mississippi--a site both significant and infamous in our collective story as a nation. Money is personified in this haunting story, which chronicles its troubled history following the arrival of the Hilson and Bryant families.

Glorious is ultimately an audacious exploration into the nature of self-hatred, love, possession, ego, betrayal, and, finally, redemption.

Sugar brings a Southern African-American town vividly to life, with its flowering magnolia trees, lingering scents of jasmine and honeysuckle, and white picket fences that keep strangers out--but ignorance and superstition in.

Bestselling author Bernice L. McFadden returns with a novel that continues the story of Sugar Lacey, the unforgettable heroine of McFadden's critically acclaimed debut novel.

The first section of this unconventional love story belongs to Campbell. Despite being born to a faithless father, Campbellstill believes in the power of love...if she can ever find it
