September 11 2024 - 2:00PM
Drawing on her own experiences as a Black woman in technology sales
and her experiences as a mother, friend, and lover, debut novelist
Leilani Garrett shares a dramatic new story about trusting your own
voice and honoring self in her women’s fiction novel After the
Burn.
Despite growing up with next to nothing in a neighborhood where
everyone struggled to make ends meet, Elle Grace Rollins has built
a complicated but satisfying life. Elle remains a devoted single
mother to her teenage son while crushing it at her corporate job.
She has a close-knit circle of “Sistah” friends and a man she
adores. Everything seems to be falling into place for Elle, until
it all starts falling apart. After more than a decade together with
her man, Darien, another woman steps in and threatens to upend
their loving relationship. Heartbroken and frustrated, Elle finds
solace in the arms of a younger man. At the same time, Elle’s
corporate success is jeopardized by a rival colleague looking to
cheat her out of a huge payday. Her career and relationship at
stake, Elle seeks trusted counsel to help plot her next move. Will
she rebuild her perfect world or will everything she’s worked for
come crashing down?
After the Burn has a message that will resonate with women of
all ages and ethnicities but will appeal most to Black women who
love fiction about relationships and female empowerment.
After the Burn is available for purchase online at Amazon.com
and Barnes and Noble.com. For more information about the author,
