"Anywhere you Run" by Wanda Morrison. You can't escape your pass

from Da Bruhs BookShelf · host Da Bruhs

In the scorching summer of 1964, the Deep South of Mississippi is a battleground for civil rights, where three brave men pay the ultimate price for aiding Black citizens in their quest for voting rights. Against this tumultuous backdrop, twenty-one-year-old Violet Richards faces a harrowing ordeal, enduring a brutal assault and ultimately killing her attacker in self-defense. Trapped within the suffocating grip of Jim Crow justice, Violet, whose skin color denies her any chance of a fair trial, makes a desperate decision – she must flee. With the help of her white boyfriend, Violet escapes, leaving behind her life in Jackson, Mississippi. Yet, as she seeks refuge, Violet unknowingly steps into another perilous trap in the small rural town of Chillicothe, Georgia. Meanwhile, in Jackson, Violet's older sister, Marigold, dreams of attending law school and dedicates herself to the Mississippi Summer Project, hoping to advance the cause of Black voting rights with her intelligence. But Marigold carries her own secret burden – an unmarried pregnancy. When news of the murder reaches her doorstep, Marigold sees no alternative but to flee as well. She embarks on a journey North, yearning for a life free from segregation and the threat of violence. But has her escape sealed her fate, endangering not only her life but also the life of her unborn child? As these two sisters navigate the perilous paths of their fugitive lives – one escaping the law, the other fleeing societal shame – they remain oblivious to the shadowy figure hot on their trail. This relentless pursuer harbors dark secrets and a chilling motive known only to him, casting an ominous cloud over the sisters' quest for freedom and safety.
