A single mother in segregated Virginia pushes back on societal prejudice and her own family’s judgment in an emotionally powerful short story by New York Times bestselling author Sadeqa Johnson.

With a newborn in tow, Bubbles Jones escapes a brutal sanctuary for “wayward girls” to confront the hypocritical shame of her pastor father and the betrayal of a lover. But Bubbles is accompanied by a woman who offers her shelter and a dream. Forging an unpredictable path ahead, Bubbles will not yield and will not hide in her unwavering commitment to make a big life real in a world determined to keep her small.

Inspiring

The story was so good, I felt I was there in that time when segregation was alive and well. Judgement by the church folk was the law of the community. Good for Bubbles and her strength

Wanted more

A story of resilience, love, determination and courage. Loved it. Wanted more of the story, but truthfully, I know the future of Bubbles, joy and her family. Love and family wins in this story.

The story

I LOVE SADEQA JOHNSON!! She is an AMAZING STORY TELLER ! This is the second book I’ve listen to!

Short story greatly written

Bubbles was a catalyst for change and stood up for herself. People are often so high and mighty that they must be humbled. Lastly, everyone isn’t your friend

I loved it

I wished it was longer. Very very good. I loved it. These poor girls went through so much.
