Collard Greens and Cannoli
by Patricia Miller
Three generations of women bound by love, legacy, and inherited pain.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Three generations of women with generational trauma that comes to a head.
In 1950s Flint, Michigan, Clair Loving sings to mask her pain. But she dreams of something brighter for her daughter Anisette. She’s the one who will make it out. She’s beautiful, gifted, and determined to shine. But the fear surrounding her ‘forbidden’ first romance with the Sicilian grocer’s son and the desire to make it big costs her the love of her life. Or, did it?
Years later, Ming Jones inherits more than her mother’s beauty and her grandmother’s drive. She inherits their trauma and pain. She knows how to hold it all together, keep the outside looking fine. But inside, the past whispers, the blood remembers, and the madness runs deep. You see, Ming always knows what’s best.
From the Black Clover in Flint to New York and back again, Collard Greens & Cannoli is an emotional family saga about trauma, addiction, healing, love, legacy, and the quiet insanity that can hide behind pretty faces, perfect hair, pretty dresses, and smart minds. It shows you how being ‘the strong one’ can drive you over the edge.
