Gaither Sisters Books in Order

Three sisters leave Brooklyn to visit the mother who abandoned them, arriving in Oakland in 1968. Instead of the holiday they imagined, a Black Panther day camp introduces them to new ideas about family, politics, and themselves.

Back in Brooklyn after their Oakland summer, Delphine and her sisters find their family changing. A new girlfriend for their father, a troubled uncle home from Vietnam, and school pressures challenge Delphine’s efforts to hold everything together.

The Gaither sisters travel to Alabama to visit relatives and encounter an old quarrel between two elderly half sisters. As Delphine learns the family’s history, an unexpected crisis tests the ties that connect them across generations.
