Micah Dean Hicks recommends
Things You Would Know if You Grew Up Around Here (2020)
Nancy Wayson Dinan
"A harrowing debut that pulls you down into a central Texas underworld, a place where the soil is deep with myth and injustice. When a flood sweeps over the countryside like the eve of the apocalypse, shattering already fractured families, ghosts rise with the river to collect history's due. Dinan's novel will drown you with beauty and grief."
