Seven Daughters of Dupree - Williams, Nikesha Elise

Set in 1995, the story follows fourteen-year-old Tati as she searches for the truth about her father, uncovering long-buried secrets her mother and grandmother refuse to share. As she digs deeper, she traces the history of the Dupree women across generations—from Jubi in 1917 to Ruby, Nadia, and beyond—each shaped by love, loss, and difficult choices. Bound by a mysterious legacy of only bearing daughters, the family carries the weight of generational trauma that began with an enslaved ancestor’s fight for freedom. The novel explores themes of resilience, identity, and the enduring strength of Black women across seven generations.
