The Scotts are a family of five who move from Detroit, Michigan to get away from race riots and phone calls from black boys to their eldest daughter. Arthur, the father, is from a farm in the Midwest and decides to take the family there to live. Not easy for his wife, Celia, who has a good and happy life. And there's more. Eve, Arthur's youngest sister, died under mysterious circumstances twenty years earlier.
The kids, young Evie, Daniel, the middle child and the oldest daughter, Elaine, each face their own challenges in Kansas differently and adjust differently.
These challenges are set against the serious threat of violence and murder. The reader knows that there is more than meets the eye.
Arthur's quest to protect his family from racial strife instead brings them closer to danger, family intrigue and violence far scarier than anything they witnessed in Detroit.
It's a good read and quite well written.
