We are so thrilled to reveal our January hint – From the Pages of History.
An utterly amazing story of great courage, love and endurance. A true masterpiece.
Originally born on a plantation, our main character, a biracial slave, is privileged and shielded because of her mother’s position and her relationship with the Master’s beloved sister. She cannot wait until she is eighteen when she will be freed and finally get her happy-ever-after with her love, another slave. But, the Master’s wife hates her and all she represents.
She finds herself thrown out of her the only home she has ever known and into the house of the Jailer. Life as she knows it has changed forever and she has to use her wits to survive and to help the people she cares about.
When the love of her life is brought to the jail, she is desperate to save him. She must keep her children safe, but also finds the atrocious actions by her husband to be more than she can handle. How can she balance the life she is now forced to live?.
A hauntingly beautiful and tragic novel based on a true story, this tale by an award-winning author is incredibly well-researched as it tells a story rarely told in historical fiction.
Discover the eye-opening and devastating lives of these women that were forced into marriage with white slave traders. A novel full of voices that need to be heard and told. We cannot wait for you to be taken on a whirlwind of emotions as you read this all-consuming novel and open gifts that will make your hair stand on its end.

Here’s a hint for the January Once Upon a Book Club YA Box….
We are so excited to share our January Young Adult Hint – Butter, Sugar, and Love Stories!
“Writing is what I do, and who even am I anymore if I don’t write?”
Our main character has never felt like a protagonist in her own life. She’s rarely seen herself reflected in the pages of the romance novels she loves. The only place she’s a true leading lady is in her own writing—in the swoony love stories she shares only with her best friend and #1 devoted reader.
So when she’s accepted into the creative writing program of a prestigious art school, she’s excited to let her stories shine. But when she goes to her first workshop, the words are just…gone. Fortunately, her best friend has a plan: create some inspiration out of a real-life life story of her own. And she’s already armed with a list of romance novel-inspired steps to a happily ever after.
But as she starts to check off each item on the list, she seems to get further and further away from herself. She risks losing everything she cares about, including her new friends. She’s well on her way to a real-life love story, but is it the one she wants after all?.
Jane the Virgin meets To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before in this charming debut romantic comedy filled with Black Girl Magic. Perfect for fans of Mary H. K. Choi and Nicola Yoon, with crossover appeal for readers of Jasmine Guillory and Talia Hibbert romances.
A heartwarming, beautiful story about a young Black girl finding her voice and falling in love at the same time, this is a tale FULL of sweets (both metaphorically and physically)!.
On sale now through January 14th (or until we sell out), this box will not be one to miss!
