Seven Desrouleaux-Jackson thought she had finally found her peace. Married to her soldier sweetheart Jackson, a mother to little Serenity, and building a life she never thought she deserved. But peace don't come easy-not when you come from a bloodline of broken promises, spiritual gifts, and heavy secrets. Raised by her mother Shanta, a woman who knows survival like scripture, and her stepfather Emris, a Haitian man who stepped in when Seven's real daddy didn't, Seven has always tried to break the generational curse. But now Serenity's waking up with dreams that feel too real, drawing people she's never met, and saying things she couldn't know. As Serenity's gift unfolds, so does the truth: about Malik, her absent father trying to creep back into their lives. About Ant, the man who left Shanta his legacy and a boy named King. About cousins who smile fake, and bloodlines that run deep, even when they run cold. This story ain't about perfection. It's about power-of healing, of spirit, and of Black women who fight for their families with everything in them.
