Told through alternating chapters, and set in a vividly drawn, tight-knit rural, Black Texan community, Perish explores the effects of inherited trauma and intra-generational violence and pain as the family's "reunion" unearths long-kept secrets and forces each member to ask themselves important questions about who is deserving of forgiveness and who bears the cross of blame. With powerful, sharp prose and a sense of place that is wholly immersive, offering a nuanced look into black communites in Texas, this beautiful yet heart-wrenching debut novel will pull you in and drop you into the world LaToya has masterfully crafted within the pages"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Watkins   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Watkins   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Watkins   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Watkins   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Watkins   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Watkins   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Fiction Watkins Domestic Checked In Add Copy to MyList
