Brim Maxton is doing everything right.
She's in her final year at Juilliard.
She has a loving, tightly knit family.
She has a boyfriend who fits perfectly into the life everyone expects her to want.
And still-something in her is starving.
Behind the applause and polished performances, Brim is hiding a deeper hunger: writing. Words are the place she tells the truth, the place she breathes. But claiming that life feels dangerous-especially when you come from a family that believes stability is love and art should stay practical.
Then she meets Jah.
What begins as a single, unforgettable night becomes a creative rupture one that cracks Brim wide open and awakens a voice she can no longer silence. As her inner world expands, Brim is forced to confront everything at once: loyalty and desire, tradition and risk, who she's been versus who she's becoming.
Set against art-filled rooms, family kitchens, film sets, and late-night conversations that change lives, A Split Tongue Poet's First Supper is a coming-of-self story about choosing truth over approval and learning that love doesn't always ask you to shrink to be worthy of it.
Brim Maxton doesn't burn her life down.
She rewrites it.
And she comes out fed.
