Summary

Danielle Evans' short fiction has long inspired devotion and celebration. In this collection, she brings her voice and insights to the subjects of race and US history and considers how and why some people choose to confront history and others to outrun it. In one story, a white college student tries to reinvent herself after a photo featuring her in a confederate flag bikini goes viral. In another, a daughter takes her mother on a tour of a prison which tore her family apart decades earlier. And in the title novella, a black scholar from Washington, DC, is drawn into a complex historical mystery which spans generations and puts her job, her love life, and her oldest friendship at risk
