At the bustling intersection of the American South and Southwest, these three women find themselves at the crossroads of their own lives. Suzette, a pampered twenty-year-old, has been sheltered from the outside world since a dangerous childhood encounter. Now, a budding romance with a sweet mechanic allows Suzette to seek independence, which unleashes dark reactions in those closest to her. In discovering her autonomy, Suzette is forced to decide what she is willing to sacrifice in order to make her own way in the world. Maple is reeling from the unsolved murder of her free-spirited mother. She flees the media circus and her judgmental grandmother by shutting herself off from the world in a spare room of the motel where she works. One night, Maple connects with Chad, someone who may understand her pain more than she realizes, and discovers that the key to her mother's death may be within her reach. Agnes is far from home, working yet another mind-numbing job. She attracts the interest of a lonely security guard and army veteran who's looking for a traditional life for himself and his young son. He's convinced that she wields a certain "magic," but Agnes soon unleashes a power within herself that will shock them both and send her on a trip to confront not only her family and her past, but also herself. This novel, told in three parts, is a searing meditation on grief, female strength, and self-discovery set against a backdrop of complicated social and racial histories. Nobody's Magic is a testament to the power of family-the ones you're born in and the ones you choose. And in these three narratives, among the yearning and loss, each of these women may find a seed of hope for the future" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Albinos and albinism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) in women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Shreveport (La.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Lee, Mela, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Leigh, Tracey, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Nicole, Jaskia, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio. 710 2 $a Findaway World, LLC. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220602011231.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=66979828E23911EC9D80461122ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
