The book is a classic. It follows the quest of several women, a quest for freedom, for a life more fulfilling. One ran away from domestic abuse, from a husband and child who physically threatened her life. Another is a young girl in a difficult relationship with her mother. Another one, Mother, is considered a saint. Grace and Divine are some of the characters' names.

A town only populated by Black people, and two families clashing over a power struggle.

Do you have a title in mind?

PARADISE, by Toni Morrison. Congratulations to Bonnie and Kim for finding the title!

Bonnie Jacobs said...: I think it may be Toni Morrison's Paradise. Some of the women at the Convent had unusual names.
