Black Hamptons

By Carl Weber & La Jill Hunt
Black Hamptons by Carl Weber & La Jill Hunt digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Now a NAACP-nominated Limited Series on BET!
 
Hidden away near the end of Long Island, New York, is a community where affluent African Americans, their friends, and the wannabes have secretly vacationed for more than 75 years. Unlike the bluffs of Martha’s Vineyard, black folks here own five miles of prime beachfront. With a mix of legacy families, new money, hangers-on, and thirsty developers, drama can never be far behind in a place called . . . the BLACK HAMPTONS.

The Brittonsare the owners of Amistad Bank, the nation’s largest minority-owned bank. They consider themselves the “First Family” of the Black Hamptons and have owned their estate home for three generations. Their matriarch, Carolyn Britton, and her two sons, Malcolm and Martin, are not to be played with. They truly embody the Black Hamptons’ old guard and will do whatever they feel is necessary to maintain their place at the top.

The Johnsons are relatively new to the Black Hamptons, having summered there only five years. Sometimes they still feel like outsiders, but that might be because Anthony Johnson is viewed as competition by the Brittons. He’s the handsome CEO of Sydney Tech, a company he built from the ground up. Many people consider him the most powerful man in the Black Hamptons, but don’t say that around the Britton boys. 

When a piece of land comes up for sale in this exclusive community, it sparks a war between the Brittons and the Johnsons. It’s old money versus new money, and neither family seems willing to compromise. Will the tension between them shatter any hopes of a peaceful summer?

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“I was pleasantly surprised by this story and now I want to read the second book! Also going to watch the show. I was thoroughly entertained from beginning to end!”
Surprised Face with Open Mouth“Just know the Hampton family is not likeable at all, and grandson Jaime needed his a** whooped as a kid or something! You are introduced to so many characters in the beginning; I was a little confused, but once the storyline picked up pace, and the characters started to develop, I actually enjoyed this story and can't wait for the second book. The cliffhanger had my mouth on the floor.”
