The Orange Blossom is a sweeping, intergenerational saga of resilience, identity, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
From the bustling markets of Monrovia to the snow-laden streets of Michigan and the glittering runways of Paris and New York, one family's story unfolds across decades of love, betrayal, and survival. At its heart is Joviah Collins-a woman shaped by secrets she never asked for and strength she didn't know she carried.
Her grandmother, the famed Orange Vendor Woman of Liberia, built her life on grit and faith. Her mother, Beatrice, guarded appearances in exile while carrying unspoken wounds. And Joviah, a fashion designer on the world stage, finds herself haunted by the past she can no longer outrun.
When long-buried truths come to light, the Collins children must decide whether family history will define them-or if they will reclaim it on their own terms.
Lushly told and deeply human, The Orange Blossom is both a love letter and a reckoning-a powerful exploration of heritage, sacrifice, and the beauty of standing in one's truth.
