Publisher's summary
Award-winning author Wanda Morris returns with a powerful, haunting thriller following a lawyer who after the mysterious disappearance of a local landowner and the death of his sister just months before, uncovers a conspiracy that dates back to Reconstruction and persists in half the United States today.
Deena Wood’s life has fallen apart in the aftermath of losing her beloved mother, her marriage, and her prestigious job at an Atlanta law firm. She needs what the Geechee people of coastal Georgia call a “dayclean,” a fresh start.
She returns to her childhood home in Brunswick, Georgia, to heal. But her return is anything but the respite she thought it might be. To make peace with all her loss, she often drives through the city. One day, she unwittingly finds herself on the oceanfront property of a loner widower who is fighting to keep land that has been in his family since the end of the Civil War. He threatens her and warns her to never return. But shortly after, he disappears, and his very expensive property is quickly put up for sale. Curious about what has happened to the man, Deena digs into his disappearance and finds a family legacy at risk. What starts out as a bit of curious snooping, turns into a deadly game of illegal land grabs and property redevelopment in poor and rural communities with dark and powerful forces at work.
Without realizing it, Deena finds herself caught up in a nightmarish scheme that threatens her community and her family. She’ll need help and finds it in a close but unlikely source because she knows she must do whatever it takes to stop the sinister forces at play before she becomes their next target.

When his allegiance to his roots puts his job in jeopardy, he travels up Highway 59 to the small town of Lark, where two murders - a black lawyer from Chicago and a local white woman - have stirred up a hornet's nest of resentment.

Lenny Marks is excellent at not having a life. She bikes home from work at exactly 4pm each day, buys the same groceries for the same meals every week, and owns thirty-six copies of The Hobbit (currently arranged by height). The closest thing she has to a friendship is playing Scrabble against an imaginary Monica Gellar while watching Friends reruns. And Lenny Marks is very, very good at not remembering what happened the day her mother and stepfather disappeared when she was still a child. The day a voice in the back of her mind started whispering, You did this.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

The Haves and The Have Nots
Do you believe that our ancestors and the ones we loved who have passed are all still watching over us? Those whose backs were bent but not broken, those who suffered so that we might be able to walk free.
This book took me on a journey that spoke to just that with the little 2 minute interludes, from the ancestors, or that feeling you can feel as though someone is with you.
There was corruption, grief and loss, resilience, generational wealthand disenfranchised communities. The haves and the have nots.
Love always finds a way.

Worked My Nerves
This book was good, but it worked ALL of my nerves towards the end. The author was trying to build suspense, but the suspense came off as ditsy or something with Deena; the main character. Hell, I was putting two and two together and figuring out who was behind everything all along. And again, I know this is just a BOOK, fiction, suspense/drama, etc..but hell, my nerves just didn't have time for the foolery..LMBO
What redeemed the entire experience for me was at the end, when the author broke down the history and facts regarding what inspired her to write the book. Learning about different things her own family experienced in similar situations, and her family being Gullah. Kudos for adding that snippet..
Overall, 4 out of 5 cause Im still over here SMH..LOL
