Closer to Mobile than Montgomery, wedged between woods and water,
is a place nobody goes. Memories and ghosts thrive in present-day
Canaan. Widow Sutton's place is falling down, the Baptist Church
congregation dying out. Long ago those declared unworthy were
buried outside the cemetery fence. Up on the hill overlooking Red
Hill Creek, is a blank grave under a pink dogwood tree. According
to folklore, Thomas John Sutton, 14, is buried under. Thomas loves
Esther, but she isn't accepted in Canaan because of her bastard
birth. After discovering the secret of his birth, Thomas fears
he'll be treated the same. IN MEMORY OF is the story of two
teenagers struggling against an unforgiving society in rural
Alabama 1933.
