Maddox & Daughter

By PRINCE KACHHADIYA

Hazel Maddox came home to sell her grandmother's bakery.
She told everyone she was fine. Everyone knew she was lying.

After seven years away from Maple Hollow, Hazel expects Maddox & Daughter to be a temporary obligation - sort through June's papers, settle the estate, list the building, and leave before the town can ask anything else of her. But the bakery is not waiting quietly. The wiring is failing. The debts are worse than anyone admitted. And a developer's offer begins to look less like a threat than a way out.

Carrie, the sister who stayed, has been carrying more than Hazel ever understood. June's old letters reveal a legacy built from love and secrecy, from sacrifices that saved the family while quietly wounding it.

As the Maple Festival approaches and the whole town begins to watch, Hazel must decide whether leaving is freedom - or only another way of staying hidden.

Maddox & Daughter is a quietly powerful debut book-club novel and contemporary family saga for readers of small-town secrets, sisterhood, and grandmother letters - about inheritance, grief, hidden labor, and the women who carried too much and called it love.
