Majestic Hills: A Novel

A gripping page-turner from the award-winning author of Three Girls from Bronzeville, this novel explores the complexities of race, prejudice, and community in a suburban setting.

Dr. Langdon Blaque, seeking respite from the demands of his emergency room career, moves with his wife Josephine to the suburban subdivision of Majestic Hills. While Langdon desires peace, Josephine, a lawyer, is hesitant, having grown up with stories of the Jim Crow South and sundown towns. They agree to a one-year trial, with the option to reassess.

Initially welcomed by their predominantly white neighbors, the Blaques soon discover simmering tensions beneath the surface of privileged harmony. A horrifying crime shatters the illusion of safety, thrusting them into the center of a brewing storm that pits neighbor against neighbor, exposes deep-seated prejudices, and threatens to erupt into violence.

As their year in Majestic Hills draws to a close, the Blaques face a critical juncture. Can they forge a home in this new environment, or has their move jeopardized their future, their marriage, and their safety?
