Wells Without Water
When a sweet, unassuming fifteen-year-old walks into the local police station attempting to kill everyone inside, Carmichael Franklin, a social justice advocate and legal investigator whose hope for a better world is masked by a deep layer of cynicism, is called home to Loblolly Grove to find out what happened. Carm returns and finds his community crumbling. While the underfunded "Lo" has always had its problems, its residents were once as close as family. A towering apartment block, Carm learns its caretaker Ma Esther has been murdered, and a rising tension, coupled with strange outbursts of violence, has seemingly infected everyone. Carm's brother, Everett, who has followed in their father's footsteps and is now the Bishop, brings Carm to see a young girl he believes is possessed, unleashing an action-packed series of events that transport Carm across time. Wells Without Water is an incendiary, poetic, horrifying, and, above all, deeply felt adventure through the lives and loves of the Lo. Cebo Campbell ...
