His father said it with a hand around his throat. He was twelve years
old. He spent the next thirty years growing big enough - to work a rig
beside the man, to bury him, and, in the end, to forgive him with his
eyes wide open.
James Gibson Jr. came up on the Texas Gulf Coast in a handful of good
years he would spend most of his life fighting to remember: a father
who showed up, a garden in the South Texas heat, oak trees an old man
planted by hand. Then the work went out of the town, the family came
apart, and the violence that had run through the men of his family for
generations came for him too.
Carried in the Blood is the story of what gets handed down a bloodline,
and what one man refused to hand down again. It is for anyone who
grew up carrying a pain they were never allowed to name - and proof
that the line can stop with you.
