"Black Cake" by Charmaine Wilkerson is a book about family and identity. Eleanor Bennett was married with two children who despite being several years apart were very close as children but have become estranged as adults. The siblings are forced to deal with each other in the aftermath of their mother's passing. She has left some recordings for them to watch hoping to share some previously hidden aspects of herself and her life with her children.
Now a miniseries produced by Oprah coming to Hulu on Nov 1, 2023.
