Something Old, Something New(Blessings‪)‬

Award-winning author Beverly Jenkins has been named one of the Top Fifty Favorite African-American Writers of the 20th Century by the AABLC. In Something Old, Something New, Lily Fontaine and Trent July are finally planning their wedding. But when well-intentioned neighbors-including Bernadine, the town fairy godmother-insist on inflating the intimate gathering into the event of the decade, Lily and Trent start wishing they'd simply eloped.
