Yellow Wife,
a historical fiction novel by Sadeqa Johnson that follows Pheby Delores Brown, a privileged enslaved woman promised her freedom at age 18. Instead, she is thrust into Richmond’s infamous Devil’s Half Acre slave jail where she must outwit her cruel jailer to survive and protect her loved ones. The novel is inspired by the true story of Mary Lumpkin and Robert Lumpkin, who operated a notorious slave jail in Richmond, Virginia. The real-life history of Robert Lumpkin’s brutality alongside his marriage to his enslaved wife, Mary, sparked Johnson’s exploration of what it meant to barter love, survival, and freedom during this harrowing period of American history.
Sisters of Sixth Mount Zion Book Club begins July 1st (meet virtually on Wednesdays from 7-8p).
The Men of the Mount will be reading
Heavy
by Kiese Laymon. In Heavy, Laymon writes eloquently and honestly about growing up a hard-headed black son to a complicated and brilliant black mother in Jackson, Mississippi. From his early experiences of sexual violence, to his suspension from college, to his trek to New York as a young college professor, Laymon charts his complex relationship with his mother, grandmother, anorexia, obesity, sex, writing, and ultimately gambling. By attempting to name secrets and lies he and his mother spent a lifetime avoiding, Laymon asks himself, his mother, his nation, and us to confront the terrifying possibility that few in this nation actually know how to responsibly love, and even fewer want to live under the weight of actually becoming free.
Men of the Mount Book Club begins July 6th (meet in-person on Mondays from 7-8p).
NOTE: Registration is FREE.
You will have the option to order the book through us at a discounted cost. You can pay online OR in-person through June 28th.
