"An affirmation of the human spirit. Can a Black American find grace in a land built upon the toil, tears, and blood of his family and ancestors?" — Margo Wilson, author, The Main Ingredient

"Carlisle's words sing on the page in this fascinating genre-bending novel." — Christina Fisanick, author, The Optimistic Food Addict

"Through twists and turns down the dark roads of the Jim Crow era and today's south, The Souls of Clayhatchee shines a light on the magnetism of family and the shattering effects of racist violence. Brisk, touching, and entertaining ... sweeping me into a world I could never enter myself, and I will never forget." — Paul Hertneky, author, Rust Belt Boy

A brilliant novel about family ties, generational racism, and a mysterious murder that casts its shadow across a man fulfilling his mother’s dying wish.

James Kingsman hated the South. Raised by parents who had migrated north from Alabama years before his birth, he had heard their personal stories of racism, injustice, and fear. At best, he carried a certain disdain for those who stayed behind, no matter how much the South had changed.When James reluctantly agrees to his mother’s last wish to be buried in her ancestral home, his notions about southern relatives are turned upside down. As are long-hidden discoveries about his parents. His father did not migrate north, he escaped. His mother kept an even deeper secret, one of rage and beauty.

Some ghosts cannot stay buried.
