I didn't expect to meet a grieving ghost or her dead mother.
But then, I didn't expect to find out my town had been the site of a lynching, a lynching that had left my friend Sarah motherless and had made her a victim of murder as well.
Their deaths aren't ancient history, though, not when one man who was a witness still holds sway in our small town. My friends and I have truth on our side, but will that be enough to keep us safe?
If only telling the truth didn't come so hard to so many.
Andi Cumbo-Floyd lives with her adorable son, an almost as adorable black mouth cur named Meander, and a troublesome but cute pitbull mix named Roger in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. She writes novels that fold back the corners to show the wild, maybe not entirely natural things that work in our lives. She also writes mysteries as ACF Bookens and books about writing. She hopes you'll stop by her website, andilit.com and take a look around.
