    Deed So, a coming-of-age story, takes place in a small Southern town in 1962. It was the last year of innocence - the year before the Kennedy assassination, the civil rights struggle, feminist activism, and the Vietnam War changed America forever. Brainy 12-year-old Agnes Hayden "Haddie" Bashford wants nothing more than to leave Wicomico Corners and escape to the exciting world beyond its narrow, tradition-bound borders. A series of shocking incidents brings the outside world crashing down on her backward village, exposing long-buried family secrets and setting Haddie on a collision course with an unstable firebrand who will have to silence her to protect his identity. Deed So is a novel in the tradition of To Kill a Mockingbird, laying bare the issues that marked the Sixties as a turning point in American History. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Don’t buy this audiobook if you are in a hurry! It will certainly be a pity, a waste of time and money. You need to take some respite to join me inside. Once you enter, you’ll either enjoy it or you won't; the soul of my kindred will reveal properly. This life story is the direct effect of voodoo damnation, pending between the semicolons of one granted wish and the vision of an oracle. I wished to be loved, then I was told by a fortune-teller that this year is the last of my life. If you hate me when you finish this audiobook, it certainly means I have a chance to live longer. That’s an extremely abulic situation, but I got used to it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Reaves. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/186440/bk_acx0_186440_sample.mp3.

    A compelling dual-narrated tale from Jennifer Latham that questions how far we've come with race relations. Some bodies won't stay buried. Some stories need to be told. When 17-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 present and the past. Nearly 100 years earlier, a misguided violent encounter propels 17-year-old Will Tillman into a racial firestorm. In a country rife with violence against blacks and a hometown segregated by Jim Crow, Will must make hard choices on a painful journey towards self discovery and face his inner demons in order to do what's right the night Tulsa burns. Through intricately interwoven alternating perspectives, Jennifer Latham's lightning-paced pause-resister brings the Tulsa race riot of 1921 to blazing life and raises important questions about the complex state of US race relations - both yesterday and today.  ungekürzt.
