Events › Adult Book Discussion: Good Dirt by Charmaine Wilkerson

Join us for an engaging and heartfelt book club conversation as we explore Good Dirt, the latest powerful novel by Charmaine Wilkerson, bestselling author of Black Cake. This multigenerational story invites readers into a rich narrative of family ties, long-buried secrets, resilience, and the complexities of inheritance—both emotional and material.

Set against lush landscapes and shifting timelines, Good Dirt unearths what it means to reckon with the past while carving a path toward healing. Together, we’ll dive into the novel’s themes of identity, land, legacy, and the ties that bind families across years and continents.
