A story about a family struggling with the racial injustice of the South, crime and poverty, and the close presence of ghosts and demons of the past. Told from 3 different viewpoints, Ward's writing is lyrical and powerful, yet at the same time makes it sometimes hard to follow. Maybe I needed to spend more time with the characters, but besides Jojo and Kayla, I don't feel like I attached to them. Plus it took me a while to accept that a surprisingly big part of the plot was dedicated to beings from the astral plane :)
