A Voice from Beyond the Grave
A mother dies. In her wake, she leaves two estranged children, a frozen cake, and a cassette tape that will shatter everything they thought they knew. When Byron and Benny Bennett meet in their mother's attorney's office after eight years of bitter silence, they expect paperwork and property division. Instead, they receive Eleanor Bennett's voice from beyond death, confessing that their entire childhood was built on lies. The woman they called Mom was actually Coventina "Covey" Lyncook, a Caribbean girl who faked her own death, assumed a stranger's identity, and spent fifty years searching for the daughter she was forced to give up. Oh, and there's one more thing: they have a sister they never knew existed, and they're supposed to share the black cake with her when the time is right. As Eleanor's recorded confession unfolds, the siblings must confront not only their mother's hidden past but also the fractures in their own relationship and the question of whether family can be rebuilt from recipes and revelations.
