When Danny Jackson says the N-word on his fifth birthday his grandmother tells him their family doesn’t use that word, though he’s learned it from his father. There’s a mysterious grave in their woods, and all he’s ever heard it called was the N-word Grave. Thus begins a family saga and coming of age story as an Appalachian grandmother tries to change her family’s worldview regarding race relations.
But can Danny overcome a cruel, abusive rural Appalachian upbringing steeped in racism; and, will he help a black man solve the decades-old murder of the black man’s Great-grandfather?
Danny and Martin Noble Peoples, a descendant of the murdered black man, team up to uncover the truth about what really happened to A. Noble Peoples. What they learn from Danny’s grandmother is even more shocking than they anticipated.

Inspired by True Crimes. A black man was murdered in my hometown in the 1920s, and my Great-great-grandfather allowed him to be buried on our farm.
How, why and from whom do we learn the things we learn and become the people we become? Laurel Mountain McLandon Jackson would say some of it is like hand-me-downs and heirlooms - we come by it honest.
