Publisher's Summary:
When Cornelius Allen gives his daughter Clarissas hand in marriage, he presents her with a wedding gift: the young slave she grew up with, Sarah. Sarah is also Allens daughter and Clarissas sister, a product of his longtime relationship with his house slave, Emmeline. When Clarissas husband suspects that their newborn son is illegitimate, Clarissa and Sarah are sent back to her parents, Cornelius and Theodora, in shame, setting in motion a series of events that will destroy this once-powerful family.
Told through alternating viewpoints of Sarah and Theodora Allen, Cornelius wife, The Wedding Gift is a stunning novel that shows where the complicated and compelling bonds and relationships between women explored in novels like The Help and The Secret Life of Bees began. Marlen Suyapa Bodden's novel is an intimate portrait that shows where this particular American story and dynamic all started and will leave listeners breathless.
Includes a reading group guide read by the author.
