Reminiscent of the works of Terry McMillan, this contemporary novel tells of one man, the three women who love him, and the different cultures which lay claim to him. Spending one season each year in three different locales--New York, the Caribbean, and Africa--Solomon Wilberforce has neatly compartmentalized his life--until a family tragedy changes everything forever.

The Seasons of Beento Blackbird marks the debut of Akosua Busia, an exciting and passionate new novelist. It is the story of Solomon Wilberforce, a magnetic and brilliant man who writes bestselling children's books under the name Beento Blackbird and who has dedicated himself to educating the far-flung children of African descent about their glorious heritage. And it is also the story of the three women who love him: Miriam, the Caribbean midwife who delivered him into the world when she was nine years old; Samantha, his beautiful, talented, and utterly modern New York book agent; and Ashia, an innocent woman-child who awaits him in her native village in Ghana.
