In West Mills by De’Shawn Charles Winslow
In West Mills (Bloomsbury) by De’Shawn Charles Winslow is a charming story about an African American family in North Carolina spanning from the 1940s – 1987, and the difficult struggles and complexities of love.
We meet Knot, who has an unconventional lifestyle, always reveling in her freedom. She lives alone, reads books and drinks a lot whenever she pleases. When Knot gets herself into a bit of trouble, she reaches out to her neighbor and friend Otis Lee for help.
Otis is loyal and trustworthy and steps up for his friend, but there are deeply hidden family secrets he is unaware of that have unknowingly altered his life and are making an impact on the ones he loves.
The troubled past and longtime friendships weave this small town community together through the generations and Winslow captures our attention with his vivid voice and memorable characters.
From out-of-wedlock pregnancies to disowned family members, Winslow depicts this big-hearted, southern community as gossip-filled and passionate, with tension and hurt along with love and support.
