Im shaking so hard i can barely type. This novel saw me through nearly a decade of my life; she is my whole heart. It is the honor of my life to share that THE ORIGINAL DAUGHTER is forthcoming from @BoudreauxLee & @doubledaybooks, I cannot believe it.

Spanning over two decades, #TheOriginalDaughter by @jemmawei is a powerful and emotive examination of intergenerational trauma. It’s character driven, compelling and full of depth.
