One Night in Georgia: A Novel
The personal has always been political—and vice versa—and in her new road trip novel, Celeste O. Norfleet tackles this theme head-on. Set in 1968, One Night in Georgia follows a trio of Spelman College girls as they embark on a cross-country excursion during the summer following graduation. The trip starts out as a joyous, carefree occasion, but the mood turns dark as they veer South. When the car breaks down in Georgia, it isn’t long before the girls are caught up in a racist situation with fatal consequences.
Available June 18.
