Jolie Hoyt is a good Southern girl living in Hendrix, a small
Florida Panhandle town. All too aware of her family's closet full
of secrets and long-held distrust of outsiders, Jolie throws
caution to the wind when she meets Sam Lense, a Jewish anthropology
student from Miami, who is in town to study the ethnic makeup of
the region.
Jolie and Sam fall recklessly in love, but their affair ends
abruptly when Sam is discovered to have pried too deeply into
Hendrix's dark racial history and he becomes the latest victim in a
long tradition of small-town violence. Twelve years later, Jolie
and Sam are forced to revisit the unresolved issues of their young
love and finally shed light on the ugly history of Jolie's
hometown. A complex and compulsively readable Southern saga,
"American Ghost "is a richly woven exploration of how the events of
our past haunt our present.
