Kingdom of No Tomorrow

by Fabienne Josaphat - Fiction, Historical Fiction, Women's Fiction

Raised in Haiti by a father deeply embedded in activism, Nettie Boileau joins the Black Panthers’ Free Health Clinics in Oakland in 1968. She quickly becomes devoted to the cause and its dedication to helping people in a racially divided America --- and gets swept up in an all-consuming love affair with Melvin Mosley, a defense captain of the Black Panther Party. But when Nettie and Melvin head to Chicago to help launch the Illinois chapter of the Panthers, they find themselves targets of J. Edgar Hoover’s famous covert campaigns against civil rights leaders. As she learns more about the inner workings of the Panthers --- and her relationship with Melvin reveals its own fault lines --- Nettie must figure out what is left for her within the movement, what she stands for and whom she can count on.
