THE GONE DEAD - Chantelle Benz

~ Standard Hardcover

A young woman returns to her childhood home in the American South and uncovers secrets about her father's life and death . . . 

Inventive, gritty, and openhearted, The Gone Dead is an astonishing story of race, justice, and memory that lays bare the long-concealed wounds of family and a country.

“A rich, arresting exploration of racial injustice and the long shadows cast by family legacy.  Propulsive from the outset, culminating in a wrenching final scene.  A beautiful and devastating portrait of the modern South.” -- Publishers Weekly
