"An impressive debut. Emotionally honest with lyricism and charm to spare, Nyani Nkrumah's Wade in the Water depicts in riveting detail a racially charged Mississippi town, the secrets it holds, and the precious heart and soul of a young girl deserving love."—Diane McKinney-Whetstone, author of Our Gen and Tumbling

...Broken.
A word typically ascribed to fragmented, useless things – not people.

It's looking like Anika might be alone for the holidays... unless the very last person she'd ever want to spend them with can convince her otherwise.
Is it really enemies-to-lovers if the disdain is one-sided?
(BitterxSweet is a novella)
"Lennox spoke to a part of me that no man ever had." —Magnolia
