The Loves of Our Lives

Are you still hung up on your first love? Or maybe you're way past first love and are trying to find the perfect balance between family caretaking and your own ambitions. Emi, Jo, and Willa wrestle with these very dilemmas.

The road to love and fulfillment can be a path full of sharp edges and distracting turns, much compounded when you're a Black woman in America. The Loves of Our Lives is a multi-generational story that follows the saga of a grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter from the 1950's onward. Emi, Jo and Willa all face different challenges in the pursuit of love and happiness. Giddiness, betrayal, unwavering commitment, abuse, and romantic apathy all play a role in their respective stories.

Emi has a huge secret to announce to her family, Jo struggles to navigate the waters of intercultural relationships and trauma, and Willa fights to let go of her first love as she crashes against issues of consent. After reading Karsyn's The Loves of Our Lives you may find yourself curious about your own family history. There might be a treasure trove of romantic drama hiding just behind your family's eyes.
