"Masterfully written and pitch perfect, Black Girls Must Be Magic
is, simply, magic."--Good Morning America
In this highly anticipated second installment in the Black Girls Must
Die Exhausted series, Tabitha Walker copes with more of life's
challenges and a happy surprise--a baby--with a little help and lots of
love from friends old and new.
For Tabitha Walker, her grandmother's old adage, "Black girls must die
exhausted" is becoming all too true. Discovering she's pregnant--after
she was told she may not be able to have biological children--Tabitha
throws herself headfirst into the world of "single mothers by choice."
Between her job, doctor's appointments, and preparing for the baby,
she's worn out. And that's before her boss at the local news station
starts getting complaints from viewers about Tabitha's natural hair.
When an unexpected turn of events draws Marc--her on and off-again
ex-boyfriend--back into her world with surprising demands, and the
situation at work begins to threaten her livelihood and her identity,
Tabitha must make some tough decisions about her and her baby's future.
It takes a village to raise a child, and Tabitha turns to the women who
have always been there for her.
Bolstered by the fierce support of Ms. Gretchen, her grandmother's best
friend, the counsel of her closest friends Laila and Alexis, and the
calming presence of her doula Andouele, Tabitha must find a way to
navigate motherhood on her own terms. Will she harness the bravery,
strength, and self-love she'll need to keep "the village" together, find
her voice at work, and settle things with Marc before the baby arrives?
