Join us for a discussion of Hope and Glory by Jendella Benson.

The title Hope and Glory is on hold at the White Oak Library and can be picked up any time the library is open. It is also available on Hoopla as an ebook and an eAudiobook.

Synopsis from Goodreads: Glory Akindele returns to London from her seemingly glamorous life in LA to mourn the sudden death of her father, only to find her previously close family has fallen apart in her absence. Her brother, Victor, is in jail and won't speak to her because she didn't come home for his trial. Her older sister, Faith, once a busy career woman, appears to have lost her independence and ambition, and is instead channeling her energies into holding together a perfect suburban family. Worst of all, their mother, Celeste, is headed toward a breakdown after the death of her husband and the shame of her son's incarceration.
