Some bodies won't stay buried.
Some stories need to be told.
When seventeen-year-old Rowan Chase finds a skeleton on her family's property, she has no idea that investigating the brutal century-old murder will lead to a summer of painful discoveries about the past... and the present.
Nearly one hundred years earlier, a misguided violent encounter propels seventeen-year-old Will Tillman into a racial firestorm. In a country rife with violence against blacks and a hometown segregated by Jim Crow, Will must make hard choices on a painful journey towards self discovery and face his inner demons in order to do what's right the night Tulsa burns.
Through intricately interwoven alternating perspectives, Jennifer Latham's lightning-paced page-turner brings the Tulsa race riot of 1921 to blazing life and raises important question about the complex state of US race relations - both yesterday and today.

Meet Scarlett, a smart, sarcastic, kick-butt, Muslim American
heroine, ready to take on crime in her hometown of Las Almas. When
a new case finds the private eye caught up in a centuries-old
battle of evil genies and ancient curses, Scarlett discovers that
her own family secrets may have more to do with the situation than
she thinks -- and that cracking the case could lead to solving her
father's murder. Jennifer Latham delivers a compelling story and a
character to remember in this one-of-a-kind debut novel.
When seventeen-year-old Rowan Chase finds a skeleton on her
family's property, she has no idea that investigating the brutal
century-old murder will lead to a summer of painful discoveries
about the past... and the present. Nearly one hundred years
earlier, a misguided violent encounter propels seventeen-year-old
Will Tillman into a racial firestorm. In a country rife with
violence against blacks and a hometown segregated by Jim Crow, Will
must make hard choices on a painful journey towards self discovery
and face his inner demons in order to do what's right the night
Tulsa burns. One of the deadliest race riots in US history happened
in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on a hot 1921 night when the economically and
culturally thriving black community of Greenwood was burned to the
ground. Dreamland Burning gives voice to this little-known moment
in history, crossing historical fiction with a cold case mystery in
a story that makes bold statements about how racial tensions have
changed --- or haven't --- in nearly 100 years. Jennifer Latham
brings her unique talent to this well-researched project,
delivering a voice-driven, fast-paced, compelling read.
