A complex and compulsively readable novel about how unresolved family history and the racial tensions of the past threaten a love affair between two young Floridians. Jolie Hoyt is a good Southern girl living in Hendrix, a small Florida Panhandle town.

Jolie and Sam fall recklessly in love, but their affair ends abruptly when Sam is discovered to have pried too deeply into Hendrix’s dark racial history and he becomes the latest victim in a long tradition of small-town violence. Twelve years later, Jolie and Sam are forced to revisit the unresolved issues of their young love and finally shed light on the ugly history of Jolie’s hometown. A complex and compulsively readable Southern saga, American Ghost is a richly woven exploration of how the events of our past haunt our present. 💗 NEW TO POSHMARK?
