Eleanor Bennett won't let her own death get in the way of the truth. So when her estranged
children - Byron and Benny - reunite for her funeral in California  they discover a puzzling
inheritance. First  a voice recording in which everything Byron and Benny ever knew about their
family is upended. Their mother narrates a tumultuous story about a headstrong young woman who
escapes her island home under suspicion of murder  a story which cuts right to the heart of the
rift that's separated Byron and Benny. Second  a traditional Caribbean black cake made from a
family recipe with a long history that Eleanor hopes will heal the wounds of the past. Can
Byron and Benny fulfil their mother's final request to 'share the black cake when the time is
right'? Will Eleanor's revelations bring them back together or leave them feeling more lost
than ever?
