Everything you need to cover Loose Here and Elliott Oliver Williams.
"A man discovers at forty-one that his last name is wrong, his grandfather is the preacher he called Pastor his entire life, and the rumor that poisoned his childhood was planted in soil that same man spent a decade poisoning — a story of eleven sisters, eleven secrets, and the generation left to reckon with both."
When a phone call reveals that his last name should never have been Jackson, a forty-one-year-old man begins unraveling a secret his grandmother's generation carried for sixty years. Loose Here is a novel about what blood keeps and what silence costs.
For readers of Jesmyn Ward's Sing, Unburied, Sing, Tayari Jones's An American Marriage, and Edward P. Jones's The Known World.
