Healing in Shades of Blu

Diamonique "Blu" McKnight has mastered the art of surviving. Healing is another story. Strong, guarded, successful, and fiercely protective of the people she loves, Blu has built a life that looks solid from the outside. But beneath the confidence, sharp tongue, and unmistakable blue locs is a woman carrying wounds she rarely allows anyone close enough to see. In Houma, Louisiana, Blu has learned that some memories don't stay buried simply because you stop talking about them. The past has a way of finding its way home-and when it does, everything she thought she understood about love, Loyalty, family, and forgiveness begins to shift. As long-held secrets surface and relationships are tested, Blu finds herself confronting parts of her life she thought she'd already survived. This time, walking away may not be enough. Because there is a difference between surviving what hurt you and actually healing from it. Raw, emotional, romantic, and deeply Southern, Healing in Shades of Blu is a story about love in all its complicated forms, the families we're born into and the ones we create, and what happens when a woman who has spent her life protecting everyone else finally has to face the pieces of herself that still need healing. Some wounds leave scars. Some leave shades of Blu.
