The Great Wherever
A year after her father's death, debt-burdened Aubrey Lamb inherits his stake in a Tennessee farm she has never seen. She meets cousins she barely knows while four ancestor ghosts — gossipy, sharp-eyed, and tied to the land — watch a sale of the farm loom. Shannon Sanders's debut novel moves from contemporary Washington, D.C., back through Thomas Lamb, one of the first Black landowners in his community, and a family tragedy that still decides who gets to stay.
“The dead are relentless gossips, or at least these dead are.”
