In his first novel, J. Everett Prewitt brings us a gripping story of violence and transformation in a small Arkansas community during the early 1960s. Traumatized as a child after witnessing a murder, Anthony Andrews, the first black reporter at the Arkansas Sun, seeks to solve the mysterious abandonment of a small town and the disappearance of fourteen white men. His investigation leads him from rural Arkansas to Cleveland, Ohio as he tries to uncover a family secret kept hidden for over a decade. The closer he gets to truth, the more questions he has about himself. His quest not only reveals the true identity of people he has met along the way, but also points Anthony toward a path that leads to his own salvation.
