Three generations. One city. A truth that refuses to stay buried.
David Jourdan was a devoted husband, a father, a man of faith. Everything was taken from him - his freedom, his family, his name - by the woman he loved and a system that never looked twice. His daughter Denise grew up believing the lie. Now the truth is surfacing, and Coastville is not ready for what it brings with it.
A multi-generational noir that weaves three decades of secrets, survival, and the wreckage families make of each other - and leave for their children to inherit.
For readers of Walter Mosley, Edward P. Jones, and Jesmyn Ward.

The damage families do to each other across time
is the destination.”
- Xavier Starks
Xavier Starks didn't set out to become a writer - he set out to survive. Growing up in communities that would later inspire the fictional Coastville of his novels, he learned early that every neighborhood has its heroes and villains, often living in the same house.
Eleven years of military service, including combat deployments, gave him discipline and perspective. The kind that comes from learning courage takes many forms - sometimes it's charging toward danger, sometimes it's choosing to break the cycle that's been breaking your family for generations.
"I write because someone needs to tell our stories right. Not the version that makes people comfortable. The real version - complicated, messy, beautiful, and true."
