ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Brit Bennett's The Mothers delves into the intertwined lives of a few young people in a Southern California black community centered around their church. Nadia Turner grapples with the recent suicide of her mother and forms a secret relationship with Luke Sheppard, the pastor's son, which leads to an unplanned pregnancy. Their choices and the subsequent abortion ripple through their lives and the close-knit world of the Upper Room Chapel, significantly impacting Aubrey Evans, a quiet newcomer to the church. The story explores themes of grief, secrets, community expectations, and the lasting consequences of youthful decisions as these characters navigate love, loss, and the complexities of their relationships.
