Synopsis "What the River Kept"

Let them look. Mississippi, 1955. Thirteen-year-old Calvin Holloway follows every rule his mother gave him for surviving the South. Almost. One laugh at the wrong moment, one orange soda on a store porch, and three nights later the headlights come. Chicago, today. For seventy years, his little sister Mae has never spoken his name. But when her grandson Darius gets his driver's license, she writes the rules on an index card for his visor. And she hides a camera in his car. Hands at ten and two. Say sir. Don't reach for anything. Tell them every move. Don't argue. Come home. Darius learns every one. Moving between a Mississippi summer and a Chicago family seventy years later, What the River Kept is a novel about the rules Black families pass down to keep their children alive, the love folded inside them, and what one grandmother does when the world refuses to see. For readers who want a story that stays with them long after the last page.
