This edition of Captured by the Canadians includes three comprehensive sets of discussion questions designed to explore the book's range-from its sharp wit and romantic levity to its more profound, heavy themes.
These guided questions invite book clubs to dive into:
The Duality of the Strong Black Woman: Explore how Max manages the boss chick persona required in the corporate tech world while privately struggling with a need for stillness and the vulnerability she finds in Canada.
Sugar and Salt Siblings: Examine the complex family dynamics of older sibling syndrome, where certain children are burdened by default with responsibility while others are overlooked for the shinier option or the easier one.
Professional Challenges: Discuss the unique hurdles faced by Black women in the tech industry, including corporate betrayal and the pressure to never turn off.
About the Book:
I don't come undone.
I manage. I plan. I keep moving.
I'm a Black woman. That's what we do.
But when my car dies on a Canadian roadside on the way to a romance conference, panic hits before logic can catch up. I'm the one people call when things fall apart. I don't know what to do when there's no one to hand the problem to.
Then Eli shows up.
Too good to be true.
Book-boyfriend good.
Quiet. Observant. Built like he fixes problems with his hands instead of words. Skin so rich and carefully tended it makes a woman wonder what else he takes his time with.
So when he offers me a deal I can't refuse-one week with no armor, in exchange for my tech brain solving a problem he can't muscle through-I do something I've spent years avoiding.
I give in.
I let go.
But since Eli is the kind of man who doesn't push. Doesn't rush. He simply makes space and allows the quiet to invite you in. In that space, I remember what it feels like to stop bracing for impact.
I agreed to release my cape for one week.
I calculated the risk of staying.
What I didn't calculate or account for was the cost of leaving.
From T.L. Martin, the author of The Black Wife Effect, comes a new story featuring the latest member of the Cockpit Chix.
