The Red in Home

In the tradition of Homegoing and Freshwater, The Red in Home is a mythic, braided novel about displacement, inheritance, and the cost of home when belonging has a price. Kwame has built a life of discipline. A steady job. A steady relationship. A steady distance from a past he never reconciled with. But when a controversial Ghanaian exhibit sparks protest across the city, the life he‘s built quietly begins pulling him toward a dangerous reckoning. Leila, his girlfriend, is pulled deeper into the movement, refusing to stay quiet for anyone, even him. And in the shadows, a powerful man with ties to a dark enterprise begins tightening his grip on the story they think they‘re living. As protest turns volatile and the past starts pushing back, Kwame is forced to face the one question he has spent his whole life avoiding. And for him, the answer will determine more than just what survives in the end.
