In 1926, black Nationalist leader Marcus Garvey and the KKK establishes The Greater Liberia Act, stating that 12 million African Americans can choose to return to their homeland. For Ruth Gaines, though, her life is not in Africa with her familyit's here in America with her white boyfriend, Lance Wainwright, and his wealthy family.
Townsfolk don't take Ruth and Lance's romance seriouslyuntil the two wed. The interracial marriage in a deeply racist American South suddenly sets off a firestorm outside the family homeand even inside it.
Lance's brother Clive prides himself in his "white America"the America he claims belongs to him, not the inferior "darkies," as he calls them. The concept of having a negroe sister-in-law is unacceptable, but before Clive can tear apart Ruth and Lance's world, his own world is rocked by the very townsfolk he trusted.
Against the backdrop of a tumultuous American past, deeply segregated race issues, and the Great Depression, the Wainwright family finds itself embroiled in the middle of a race warone in which not everyone may survive. Epp Marsh III's debut novel The Final Departure is not to be missed.
