Faith's Reckoning is a story of two Americas, intimately intertwined, yet worlds apart. A multigenerational novel set in the South, it traverses the period between the 1930's - 1940's and the late 1990's. Through parallel storylines it explores the complex personal relationships between Black and White families and includes three braids: The Wiggins family, who are part of the pain inflicted by the Jim Crow system, including a daughter who seeks, at the end of her life, to make amends. The Walker family, who respond to that system by helping shape the early Civil Rights movement, featuring the well-researched history of A. Philip Randolph and the Pullman Porters. And the third braid, which follows the descendants of those families who come together to reckon with the legacy left to them. It is the love of the Delta Blues that forges a bond between these descendants and allows them to envision an organization that addresses reparations. At its core, Faith's Reckoning is a story about reparations for racial injustice. But it is also about the individual restitution we must make in our personal lives.

Nearly all the poems here have the familiar Plath daring, the same feel of bits of frightened, vibrant, indignant consciousness translated instantly into words and images that blend close, experienced horror and icy, sardonic control. — New Statesman

A riveting narrative look at one of the most colorful, dangerous, and peculiar places in America's historical landscape: the strange, wonderful, and mysterious Mississippi River of the 19th century.
Â
Beginning in the early 1800s and climaxing with the siege of Vicksburg in 1863, Wicked River brings to life a place where river pirates brushed elbows with future presidents and religious visionaries shared passage with thieves. Here is a minute-by-minute account of Natchez being flattened by a tornado; the St. Louis harbor being crushed by a massive ice floe; hidden, nefarious celebrations of Mardi Gras; and the sinking of the Sultana, the worst naval disaster in American history. Here, too, is the Mississippi itself: gorgeous, perilous, and unpredictable. Masterfully told, Wicked River is an exuberant work of Americana that portrays a forgotten society on the edge of revolutionary change.
