Description
There is a plan for each of us. Or so we are told. Maybe the plan for Buck was unthinkable. Maybe his destiny was to murder. Maybe his fate was Inescapable.
In his gritty debut novel, which won Best First Chapter in the 2022 Awarded Writers' Collection published by the Alabama Writers Cooperative, Southern author WB Henley explores the ragged mind of a young White man accused of matricide, the dark machinations of a town intent on keeping its secrets buried, and the dogged determination of a Black lawman searching for the truth while battling his own demons.
