The younger daughter, Helen, is more interested in fixing cars than falling in love-unless it’s with her sister’s suitor. until she meets the charismatic civil rights leader Washington DeWight and sparks fly.
There is Olivia, the beautiful elder Davenport daughter, ready to do her duty by getting married. Now the Davenports live surrounded by servants, crystal chandeliers, and endless parties, finding their way and finding love-even where they’re not supposed to. The Davenports are one of the few Black families of immense wealth and status in a changing United States, their fortune made through the entrepreneurship of William Davenport, a formerly enslaved man who founded the Davenport Carriage Company years ago. The first in a breathless YA series set in 1910 Chicago, The Davenports offers a glimpse into a period of African American history often overlooked, while delivering a totally escapist, swoon-worthy read.
