The Pecan Man by Cassie Dandridge Selleck
Set in the racially charged South of the 1970s, this poignant narrative unfolds through the eyes of Ora Lee Beckworth, a widow who hires a mysterious black man, known as "the Pecan Man," to tend her lawn. As the story progresses, a murder accusation against him unravels buried secrets and hidden truths that challenge the town's prejudices and test the bonds of friendship and family. Through a blend of mystery and social commentary, the tale explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the enduring impact of past actions on the present.
