Zeal by Morgan Jerkins, A Gripping Multigenerational Love Story Spanning 150 Years of Black American History

About the Book

About the Book

Zeal is Morgan Jerkins’s most ambitious novel yet. It tells the story of two families whose lives are bound together by a single love letter written in 1865, and it asks one powerful question: can the love of our ancestors find its completion through us?

Spanning over a hundred and fifty years, this extraordinary work weaves together the stories of star-crossed lovers and their descendants, following families through the Great Migration and all the way to modern-day Harlem.

From the Back Cover

A letter. Two families. One love that would not let go.

At a contemporary engagement party, Oliver gives his bride-to-be a gift: a letter passed down through generations, written by a woman named Tirzah to a man named Harrison in 1865.  What follows is a story that will leave you thinking about love, legacy, and family long after the final page.

Short Summary

Zeal follows Tirzah and Harrison, two lovers separated in the aftermath of the Civil War, and traces how the heartbreak and hope of their story ripple through generations. As Tirzah's family moves across the country during the Great Migration, their struggles and choices leave lasting marks on everyone who comes after them. When Ardelia and Oliver meet in the present day, they slowly realize their families share a history deeper than either of them could have imagined. Jerkins brings to life the optimism of the free Black community of Nicodemus, Kansas, and the powerful pull of Chicago for Black Southerners during this transformative era in American history.  Zeal is ultimately a story about how love, even when it is deferred or denied, finds a way to come home.
