Pomegranate

"Pomegranate" is a poignant novel chronicling Ranita Atwater’s journey toward recovery and self-reinvention as she nears the end of her four-year sentence for opiate possession. A queer Black woman, Ranita, nearly three years sober, grapples with her past while striving to reclaim her life and her children, all while navigating the complexities of love, identity, and temptation. Through lyrical prose, Helen Elaine Lee offers a nuanced exploration of motherhood, addiction, and the fight against marginalization in America.
