The Freed Man

By D.E. Kelley

What if the Emancipation Proclamation came with a warning? In the wake of freedom, a Black man named Jessie T. Coleman clings to hope--hope that he can raise a family, earn a living, and avoid the wrath of a world not ready to let him be free. But when moonshine, murder, and myth collide on the road to Casa Grande, Jessie finds himself in a graveyard with no memory of how he got there--and something is waiting. A chilling and lyrical tale of freedom, betrayal, and ancestral justice comes from author D.E. Kelley. The Freed Man blends history with horror, and memory with myth. It is a novel about what we inherit, what we survive, and what haunts the land we call home. For fans of Toni Morrison's Beloved , Jesmyn Ward's Sing, Unburied, Sing , and Jordan Peele's Get Out , this is a story you won't forget. "A brilliant fusion of the spiritual and the political. Unflinching, unforgettable." -- Early Reviewer
