Gone Too Long: A Novel

On the day a black truck rattles past her house and a Klan flyer lands in her front yard, ten-year-old Beth disappears from her Simmonsville, Georgia home. Seven years later, Imogene Coulter is burying her father - a Klan leader she has spent her life distancing herself from - and trying to escape the memories his funeral evokes. But she is forced to confront secrets long held by her own family when, while clearing out her father's apparent hideout on the day of his funeral, she finds a child. As Imogene begins to uncover the truth of what happened to Beth all those years ago, her father's heir-apparent to the Klan's leadership threatens her and her family.
