Set in Harlem, Caul Baby introduces the Melancon family, whose power stems from the rare caul—a membrane believed to carry life-giving magic. Laila’s hope for motherhood ends in heartbreak, setting a chain of events that reaches far beyond her own loss.

Morgan Jerkins blends folklore, intrigue and emotional depth as young Hallow grows up confined to a brownstone while her cousin roams the streets freely. Amara, now a lawyer with her own vendetta, navigates ambition and ancestral grudges as she runs for district attorney.

Rich with themes of identity, family legacy and resilience, Caul Baby explores the bonds between Black women and the choices that define belonging.
