“Don’t let the white man take the house.” Those are King Solomon’s final words to his son before he dies. Now, his four children must return to North Carolina to save the Kingdom—their ancestral home and 200 acres of land—from a developer eager to turn it into a luxury resort.
But saving the Kingdom means facing more than just legal battles. Junior, the eldest, hides his love for another man. Mance’s temper has cost him his freedom more than once. CeCe, a high-powered lawyer, is drowning in embezzlement secrets. And Tokey, the youngest, is desperate to understand why she’s always felt like an outsider in her own family.
Told in alternating viewpoints, Long After We Are Gone is a searing, emotional story of family, legacy, and the truths that set us free.
