Rod Palmer

    Issu de la communauté Gullah Geechee de la région rurale de Charleston, en Caroline du Sud, où la narration est primordiale, Rod Palmer perfectionne son art avec un diplôme en écriture créative. Ses récits se caractérisent par des intrigues ingénieuses et une prose concise et percutante. Palmer tisse habilement des thèmes du féminisme noir dans son œuvre, traduisant la riche tradition narrative des Gullah Geechee pour le public contemporain. Il reconnaît une influence significative de Toni Morrison, sa "mère littéraire", et du Dr. Kwame Dawes, un professeur et poète éminent.

      During a church shooting, actress Ameena Mimms' life is saved by Will Dantzler, a handsome, motorcycle-riding associate pastor. the near-death event opens a door to Ameena's hardened heart and Will gladly walks in. The ensuing investigation exposes Ameena and Will for not only possessing the motive to try to have the philandering bishop killed, but pasts that suggests they're capable. To make matters worst, a jealous, skin-bleaching first lady wants Ameena out of the way, whil an ambitious associate pastor wants Will removed. In a community of mourning and doubt, Satan is most busy, distorting truth and perception to the point where no one knows which is which. But God. When He shows up and shows out, all will know the difference.
