Keeper of Lost Children by Sadeqa Johnson

Some stories reach through the page and take hold of you. This is one of them.

Keeper of Lost Children is a powerful, emotionally resonant novel from Sadeqa Johnson, the acclaimed author of Yellow Wife — a writer who has proven time and again that she knows how to illuminate the deepest corners of the human heart. With the same unflinching compassion that made her previous work a beloved bestseller, Johnson delivers a story woven from grief, resilience, and the fierce, complicated love that binds us to one another.

At its core, this is a book about what we carry — and what we fight to protect. Johnson’s prose is both lyrical and grounded, pulling readers into a world that feels achingly real. The kind of novel you’ll find yourself thinking about long after the final page, replaying scenes on a quiet walk along the Marginal Way or staring out at the water.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Character-driven literary fiction
• Stories centered on Black women’s experiences and strength
• Emotionally layered narratives that linger

Johnson has built a reputation for writing books that demand to be felt, not just read. This one is no exception. It’s the kind of title we’d press into your hands the moment you walked through our door.

Whether you’re treating yourself or finding something meaningful for someone you love, Keeper of Lost Children deserves a spot on your shelf. Come in and browse — or order it here and let it find its way to you.
