{"product_id":"the-sable-cloak","title":"The Sable Cloak","description":"In this atmospheric novel set in the Jim Crow South, a powerful Black family fights to protect their empire—an \"unforgettable must-read\" for readers of Tayari Jones (Victoria Christopher Murray, New York Times bestselling author).\n\nJordan Sable, a prosperous undertaker turned political boss, has controlled the Black vote in St. Louis for decades. Sara, his equally formidable wife, runs the renowned funeral establishment that put the Sable name on the map. Together they have pushed through obstacles in order to create a legacy for their children. When tragedy bursts their carefully constructed empire of dignity and safety, the family rallies around an unconventional solution. But at what cost?\n\nSet in the Midwest in the 1940s, The Sable Cloak is a rarely seen portrait of an upper middle class, African American family in the pre-Civil Rights era. This deeply personal novel inspired by the author's own family history delves into legacy and the stories we tell ourselves, and celebrates a largely self-sustaining, culturally rich Missouri community that most Americans may not be aware of.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1538742004\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1538742004.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Grant, Gail Milissa\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
