The Davenports

The Davenports are one of the most influential families in 1910s Chicago, and their beautiful children are the toast of the elite social scene. They are also one of the few wealthy Black families in Chicago. For the Davenport sisters and their friends, life seems to follow a set plan : marriage, family, duty - but their hearts are restless. Olivia seeks a perfect love - while her younger sister Helen is desperate to pursue her true passions.
Olivia's best friend Ruby must secure a marriage to save her family's fortunes - while the Davenports' maid, Amy Rose, seeks her own path. But beyond the champagne and chandeliers, the legacy of slavery threatens a future that they have always taken for granted. As the dreams and desires of these four young women collide with the outside world, can everyone get what they truly want ?

Inspired by the real-life story of the C.R. Patterson dynasty, this sweeping tale of love and destiny is perfect for fans of Bridgerton and The Gilded Age.
