An Essence Bestselling Author

Camilla's Roses presents a life haunted by the past. Camilla's childhood was immersed in chaos and love, steeped in the myth of perfection. As an adult she never looked back, refusing to acknowledge the people and places that had scarred her so many years ago. But a legacy of cancer proves inescapable, forcing Camilla to embrace the past - no matter how painful it may be.

About the Author:
Bernice L. McFadden is the author of four national bestsellers, all published by Dutton: Sugar, The Warmest December, This Bitter Earth, and most recently Loving Donovan. Shortlisted for the Hurston/Wright Foundation Legacy Award and winner of two Black Writers Alliance Gold Pen Awards as well as an Honor Award from the American Library Association, McFadden lives in her native Brooklyn, New York.
From Booklist:
Camilla and her husband have successful careers and a beautiful young daughter. Then she discovers a lump in her breast and realizes too late that she has turned her back on the people whose support she needs the most. Generations of women in her family, moving from a southern small town to Queens, New York, have carried the middle name Rose, and some have carried a legacy of breast cancer. But Camilla has been estranged from her unruly family since she went to college, leaving behind a drug-addicted mother, a grandmother raising scads of abandoned grandchildren, and an addled great-aunt. Ashamed of her family and her race, she lightened her skin and adopted a false background. She is living a complete lie when tragedy strikes. McFadden, author of Sugar (2000) and This Bitter Earth (2002), will enrapture readers again as she moves between the past and the present and the perspectives of different characters to tell a story of family and reconciliation.
