April Showers

By Janay Harden

From the author of #1 best-selling book, Hey, Brown Girl, Janay Harden welcomes you on a daring and romantic coming of age journey about having the guts to grow your capacity for love.

"I never knew love until I grew love."

After a tumultuous sophomore year, April Mays is ready for a summer of solace under the warm Harlem sun, nurturing her beloved plants.

But when a cherished keepsake vanishes from a fellow tenant's home, the tightly-knit brownstone community buzzes with who-dunnit accusations, secrets, and finger pointing-all at her new neighbor, Shane Walker.

When April and Shane embark on a journey to uncover the truth about their home and its tenants, they find themselves drawn together by more than just the mystery of the building. When shameful secrets start to unravel that April scrambles to hide, her past scars bubble to the surface.

Humiliated by her so-called boyfriend.

The entire school pointing and laughing-at her expense.

How could Shane ever love someone like her?

April Showers is a teenage exploration of identity, healing, and the power of self-love, reminding us that growth often comes from the storms of life. In a world where the past casts shadows and the present holds the promise of love, April learns that love isn't just about embracing others-it's also about embracing yourself.
