John Gregory Brown's debut novel examines family, race, and faith
in a heartbreaking tale of identity, devotion, and regret. The
story centers on the Eagen family of New Orleans, Irish Catholics
of ""mixed blood"" in a city where race defines destiny. In 1965
Thomas Eagen and his twelve-years-old twins, Meredith and Lowell,
abruptly drive off, leaving his second wife, Catherine, and their
home. As they cross Lake Pontchartrain, a section of the bridge
collapses, injuring Murphy Warrington, an African American man who
once worked for Thomas's father. Murphy becomes the catalyst for a
series of revelations about Thomas's light-skinned black mother and
the reasons she abandoned her husband and son when Thomas was an
infant.
