About the Book
A powerful sequel to Yellow Crocus and Mustard Seed, Golden Poppies continues the sweeping multigenerational saga of Mattie and Lisbeth. Set in the late 19th century against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America, the novel follows their daughters, Jordan and Sadie.

As the next generation navigates the complex social landscapes of the Gilded Age, the Jim Crow South, and the early women's suffrage movement, they must confront the legacy of their families' pasts. Ibrahim masterfully explores themes of race, privilege, resilience, and the enduring bonds of female friendship.

Our book club is a warm, engaging space where we look forward to unpacking the rich historical layers and emotional depth of this novel together. Whether you have read all of Ibrahim's books or are jumping into the saga for the first time, your voice will make our conversation richer.
