Description

In a North Carolina mountain town fractured by two horrific crimes, a Black artist's confrontation with a Confederate monument unearths a Klan member's disturbing notebook. This discovery ignites a firestorm, forcing every resident to confront generations of deeply buried secrets and unspoken prejudices. David Joy's brave novel grapples with the pervasive nature of racism and the complex, often painful, truths that lie beneath the surface of a community.
