Based on the true story of a modern-day lynching in America, Ravi Howard's widely acclaimed debut novel exposes one of the most tragic chapters in the history of the American South.
On the morning of March 21, 1981, in Mobile, Alabama, nineteen-year-old Michael Donald was found dead, his body badly beaten and hanging from a tree on Herndon Avenue. Brothers Paul and Roy Deacon of the Deacon Memorial Funeral Home are called upon to bury their close friend and classmate, and the experience will leave them forever changed. Along with other residents of their hometown, the Deacon brothers must struggle to understand the circumstances surrounding Donald's murder—the city's first lynching in more than sixty years and a gruesome reminder of racial inequalities in the New South.
… Howard is a talent to watch, and this work introduces us to a fictional universe that we'll definitely want to encounter again.

Written in the first person Ravi Howard wraps a fictional rendition around a 1981 lynching in Mobile Alabama. A horrific event. I was 30 yo and did not know of this happening. It was the 80's for Christ's sake. While the event is central the story takes us through wondering where does one fit in the world, where is my place, what does family mean to me, how can i carry on with this evil so close at hand?
An excellent read.
