SOME BODIES WON'T STAY BURIED. SOME STORIES NEED TO BE TOLD. When seventeen-year-old Rowan Chase finds a skeleton on her family's property, she has no idea that investigating the brutal century-old murder will lead to a summer of painful discoveries about the past, the present, and herself. One hundred years earlier, a single violent encounter propels seventeen-year-old Will Tillman into a racial firestorm. In a country rife with violence against blacks and a hometown segregated by Jim Crow, Will undertakes a painful journey toward self-discovery and must confront his own inner demons as he struggles to do what's right the night Tulsa burns. Through intricately interwoven alternating perspectives, Jennifer Latham's lightning-paced page-turner brings the Tulsa race riot of 1921 to life and raises important questions about the complex state of US race relations--both yesterday and today.
