When Bernadette Elyse Jenkins-Brooks loses her much younger husband Mel to a "gamer heifer" with two kids and a mommy van, she quits her corporate accounting job at Bank of America and moves from Charlotte, North Carolina, back home to Ahoskie, North Carolina (population 5,039) to heal during one of the worst droughts in the history of Hertford County, one of the most racially divided counties in the state.
With the encouragement of her nana, Olivia, she takes a job as the bookkeeper at Mitchell Farms, where Jimmerson "Jim" Mitchell and his sons farm 3,000 acres of corn. When Bernadette discovers documents proving that Jim's ancestors swindled Black folks out of money and land in 1889, Jim decides he has to make it right, and with Bernadette's help, they set out together to right the wrongs of the past.
And along the way, they fall in love.
Filled with J. J. Murray's trademark humor, relevant social commentary, and good old-fashioned romance, Where Broken Hearts Go proves that home is where the broken-hearted can heal and find true love.
