For her March 2023 Read With Jenna pick, JennaBushHager selected writerdichick’s debut novel “Black Candle Women”
Speaking to TODAY.com, Brown says she began writing the novel in her creative writing program, which she balanced alongside her career in public health. The book was inspired by her family — or rather, the family she wished she had growing up.
Her own family informs a few of the characters: Nikki, a teenager, is inspired by each of her four daughters. Augusta, the matriarch, is inspired by her mom’s “creativity and craftiness.” The other characters, like sisters Willow and Augusta, were Brown “taking on personalities that were much different than mine.”
“I just loved the story so much that I didn't want to let it go,” she says. “I just loved these women.”
