The Warmest December - Softcover

"Riveting... Searing and expertly imagined." - TONI MORRISON "McFadden knows how to tell a story with insight and clarity... I couldn't put it down." - USA Today on The Warmest December "Unforgettable... Unique... A haunting story that keeps the pages turning until the end." - Ebony on Sugar "One of the most compelling and thought-provoking novels I've read in years." - Terry McMillan on Sugar

Buoyed by the lyrical, redemptive voice that distinguished McFadden's acclaimed debut novel, this new book tells the powerful, deeply moving story of one family and the alcoholism and abuse that marked their lives forever. Moving fluidly between the past and the present - between a young girl choosing which belt she'll be whipped with each night and her older self at the bedside of her dying father - it is an ultimately cathartic tale of hope, healing and forgiveness.
