A mother named Mercy. A mother who for all of Eve\u2019s twenty-two years has been a mystery and a quest. Eve\u2019s search for her mother, and the father she never knew, is a mission to discover her identity, her name, her people, her home.<br>Eve\u2019s questions and longing launch a multigenerational story that sprawls back to the turn of the twentieth century, settles into the soil of the South, the blood and souls of Black folk making love and life, and fleeing into a Great Migration into the savage embrace of the North. Eve is a young woman coming of age in Chicago against the backdrop of the twin fires and fury of the civil rights and Black Power movements. A time when everything\u2014and everyone, it seems\u2014longs to be made anew.<\/p><p><br>At the core of this story are the various meanings of love, how we love and most of all who we love. everyman is peopled by rebellious Black women straining against the yoke of convention and designated identities, explorers announcing their determination to be and to be free. There is Nelle, Eve\u2019s best friend and heart, who claims her right both to love women and to always love Eve as sister and friend. Brother Lee Roy, professor and mentor, gives Eve the tools for her genealogical search while turning away from his own bitter harvest of family secrets. Mama Ann, the aunt who has raised Eve and knows everything about Mercy, offers Eve a silence that she defines as protection and care. It is James and Geneva, strangers Eve meets in Ideal who plumb the depths of their own hurt and reconciliations to finally give Eve the gift of her past, a reimagined present, and her name.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1eb8edf elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1eb8edf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackstonepublishing.com\/everyman-dat0.html?fbclid=IwAR1LgYIMQjHIF9purW-MGHmoOiVN__u6A_3dN7rlWvlzlx6ujt0hhbVyLtg#541=94\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-sm\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Buy Everyman<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2753da7d\" data-id=\"2753da7d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-410fb8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"410fb8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"640\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/mshellyconner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/everyman-rectangle-640x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mshellyconner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/everyman-rectangle-640x1024.jpg 640w, http:\/\/mshellyconner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/everyman-rectangle-188x300.jpg 188w, http:\/\/mshellyconner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/everyman-rectangle-768x1229.jpg 768w, http:\/\/mshellyconner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/everyman-rectangle-960x1536.jpg 960w, http:\/\/mshellyconner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/everyman-rectangle-1280x2048.jpg 1280w, http:\/\/mshellyconner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/everyman-rectangle.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4641fe42 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4641fe42\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6e6f2c8c\" data-id=\"6e6f2c8c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2484448d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2484448d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">About <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1200df27 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-widget-divider--element-align-right elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1200df27\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-square-full\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da5841c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"da5841c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"column mcb-column mcb-item-e9f94177d three-fifth column_column\"><div class=\"column_attr clearfix align_left animate fadeInRight\" data-anim-type=\"fadeInRight\"><p>Chicago native M Shelly Conner spent her summers bouncing between her grandmother in Memphis and relatives in Los Angeles, reveling in the sprawl of the Great Migration.
