Nappily About Us

The ever witty Venus Johnston moves her family to a new home she can't afford. What's a girl to do? Become the subject of her own reality TV show. There's only one problem, the cameras capture everything and Venus doesn't like what she sees.

Venus has spent years building a life that looks whole from the outside. She's smart, accomplished, and finally beginning to believe she has made peace with love, family, and herself. But when the past reappears in unexpected ways, Venus is forced to confront the fragile truths beneath everything she thought she knew.

Her father isn't who she thought he was. Her husband has made a pact with her arch enemy. Her mother has decided to visit indefinitely. And her sister, who she didn't know existed, now wants to start from scratch by staying in the guest room where weird occurrences beg the question, who can we really trust?

In Nappily About Us, Trisha R. Thomas returns to the beloved world of the Nappily series with a tender, sharp, and deeply honest story about sisterhood, secrets, forgiveness, and the complicated ways Black women carry love through generations. As old wounds reopen and new truths come to light, Venus must decide whether healing means holding her family together at all costs-or finally making room for her own freedom.

Warm, wise, and full of heart, Nappily About Us is a powerful novel about identity, belonging, and what it takes to love ourselves and each other through the good times and down right scary times.
