Take My Hand

Inspired by true events, this novel follows a Black nurse in post-segregation Alabama who exposes injustice against her patients, from the New York Times bestselling author of Wench.

In 1973 Montgomery, Alabama, fresh nursing graduate Civil Townsend aims to empower her African American community at the local Family Planning Clinic. However, she is shocked to discover that her new patients, Erica and India, are merely children of eleven and thirteen, forced into birth control due to their circumstances.

As Civil grows close to the sisters and their family, a tragic event changes everything. Decades later, ready to retire, Dr. Civil Townsend faces the haunting stories of her past, proving that some histories cannot be forgotten.

Filled with hope, Take My Hand is a poignant exploration of accountability and redemption.
