Evelyn is a Creole woman who comes of age in New Orleans at the height of World War II. In 1982, Evelynās daughter, Jackie, is a frazzled single mother grappling with her absent husbandās drug addiction. Jackieās son, T.C., loves the creative process of growing marijuana more than the weed itself. He was a square before Hurricane Katrina, but the New Orleans he knew didnāt survive the storm. For Evelyn, Jim Crow is an ongoing reality, and in its wake new threats spring up to haunt her descendants. Margaret Wilkerson Sextonās critically acclaimed debut is an urgent novel that explores the legacy of racial disparity in the South through a poignant and redemptive family history.
