The daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty, Ricki Wilde is the opposite of her famous socialite sisters. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her. When she moves into a Harlem brownstone, she leaves behind her family, wealth, and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop. One evening Ricki encounters a handsome, deeply mysterious stranger who knocks her world off balance in the most unexpected way.

Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and Renaissance glamour, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a swoon-worthy love story of two passionate artists drawn to the magic, romance, and opportunity of New York, and whose lives are uniquely and irreversibly linked.

Includes a Reading Group Guide.

I loved this story! I was surprised when things took a magical turn, but I'm learning that I am a magic girlie. The love stories between the characters, romantic and platonic, were beautiful, and as always I loved the back and forth between past and present. I would love to learn more about Tuesday's character though 👀

I didn’t want this book to end. I felt all the emotions, loved her writing style, and absolutely loved this book. Everything, I loved everything about it. The chemistry was awesome!!! I have zero complaints.

To begin with the writing is magical. I was captivated by the setting the vibrant Harlem renaissance came alive through Tia Williams, rich descriptions transporting me completely to that era. The energy and culture significance of the time were palpable, making the setting feel like a character in its own right. Beyond the mere love story this book explores themes of self-growth, personal development, and discovering one’s true place to thrive. I loved the love displayed in the various relationships, friendship (Tuesday), new found family (Ms. Della), romantic (Ezra), and relationships within the community (Harlem). They truly loved Ricki and Ricki loved them in return.
