Join us to discuss Red Clay by Charles B. Fancher. In 1943, when a frail old white woman shows up in Red Clay, Alabama, at the home of a Black former slave--on the morning following his funeral--his family hardly knows what to expect after she utters the words '...a lifetime ago, my family owned yours.' Adelaide Parker has a story to tell--one of ambition, betrayal, violence, & redemption--that shaped both the fate of her family & that of the late Felix H. Parker. But there are gaps in her knowledge, & she's come to Red Clay seeking answers from a family with whom she shares a name & a history that neither knows in full. In an epic saga that takes us from Red Clay to Paris, to the Côte d'Azur & New Orleans, human frailties are pushed to their limits as secrets are exposed & the line between good & evil becomes ever more difficult to discern. Please attend via Zoom.
