Beskrivelse
Deep River Crossings, a novel, is set in the northern suburbs of Chicago, spanning 2010 to 2031. The book takes place in Lewis Town, a small community torn apart by urban renewal in the 1960s, which has never recovered from the trauma. Hannah has recently returned to the town to accept a job as a hospital chaplain, and in the wake of the murders of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and George Floyd, Hannah and her friends, Indigo and Roberta, launched a campaign to restore justice, balance, and peace. Competing factions clash, further dividing the historically troubled town along racial, economic, and social lines. Hannah's quest is multifaceted, encompassing sociological, spiritual, and theological dimensions. It prompts her to balance the impacts of race, class, and gender as she tries to discern her purpose in life and reclaim her equilibrium. Grounded in womanist theology and epistemology, the novel serves as a beacon for those searching for personal meaning and balance during the storms of life.
