**Two Black writers - with stories to tell, and some they'd rather forget.**
One wins the big prize, gets the book tour, walks into the spotlight of global success.
The other is about to walk into a place ripped apart by violence - a school that''s recently suffered a shooting - with only a speech to offer them.
**Some stories are simple, and stay neatly in the lines.**
This one wanders, bends time, breaks rules. This one has sea monsters, floating handguns and ridiculously tiny French cars.
**Some stories are true.**
This one is - mostly - made up.
**Some people turn the page and move on.**
Some people survive by forgetting.
But those people? **They're not people like us.**
When their son Jacob, who died tragically at his 8th birthday party in 1966, arrives on their doorstep, still 8 years old, Harold and Lucille Hargrave must navigate a strange new reality as chaos erupts around the world as people's loved ones are returned from beyond.
