Lucy Wilson and her sister Ginny don't see eye to eye on anything, including whether or not their father is a criminal. In 1973, during their father's funeral in upstate New York, Lucy receives shocking evidence of his nefarious role in a highway project that destroyed Black and Jewish neighborhoods. Caught between her idealistic pursuit of truth and her delicate relationship with her sister-who joins forces with the city to honor their father with a statue-Lucy must navigate a treacherous path. How do you challenge the narrative that has defined your family for generations? And at what cost?
I love a passionate, vivid portrait of an American city - Razed gives readers just that in this novel that explores generations of family living through the many histories of a city in New York.
Susan Straight, bestselling author of Mecca and In the Country of Women
A stirring portrait of great conflict and intimate triumphs, RAZED deftly tethers present day 1973 with an unshakeable and selectively blind and brutal past. RAZED is a reminder of an unjust world and the prayer of a next generation on the horizon. Rita Williams-Garcia, author of A Sitting in St. James
Lucretia Wilson Is a character to love and hate and love again. As a burgeoning feminist and social justice ally neophyte, Lucretia's innocence has an unexpected domino effect, and her rites of passage are not without great sacrifice... a poignant book for our time. Romaine Washington, author of Purgatory Has an Address
