Some bodies won''t stay buried.

Some stories need to be told.

When seventeen-year-old Rowan Chase finds a skeleton on her family''s property, she has no idea that investigating the brutal century-old murder will lead to a summer of painful discoveries about the present and the past.

Nearly one hundred years earlier, a misguided violent encounter propels seventeen-year-old Will Tillman into a racial firestorm. In a country rife with violence against blacks and a hometown segregated by Jim Crow, Will must make hard choices on a painful journey towards self discovery and face his inner demons in order to do what''s right the night Tulsa burns.

Through intricately interwoven alternating perspectives, Jennifer Latham''s lightning-paced page-turner brings the Tulsa race riot of 1921 to blazing life and raises important questions about the complex state of US race relations--both yesterday and today.
