New York Times bestselling author Kimberla Lawson Roby is known for heartfelt and heart-wrenching novels that explore family and relationship issues, including infidelity and single motherhood, with “high-octane levels of emotion” (USA Today). She won the 2013 NAACP Image Award Winner for Outstanding Literary Work and the 2001 Blackboard Fiction Book of the Year Award for Casting the First Stone, one of her many books featuring the flashy and flawed preacher, Reverend Curtis Black. In The Prodigal Son, Reverend Black’s two sons—one he hasn’t spoken to in a year and the other his long-lost firstborn—struggle to find their way back into the Black family fold.
