Inhaltsangabe
Born in bondage. Gifted by the ancestors. A man who refused to die.
Goodness Freeman came into the world without breath.
Then seven dead people gathered around his mother's bed and gave him back.
Born enslaved in Louisiana in 1852 with startling blue eyes and the ability to See the dead, Goodness grows up understanding that some people disappear twice: once when they die, and again when the living erase their names.
So he begins writing them down.
What starts as a name in an old ledger becomes The Book of Names, an extraordinary record of the murdered, the missing, the forgotten, and the people history decided did not matter.
Across 110 years, Goodness witnesses slavery give way to freedom, families build lives from what was left behind, children board trains for cities their ancestors could never have chosen, and generations of powerful men attempt to bury crimes beneath land, paperwork, and respectable names.
But Goodness has a problem of his own.
He remembers everyone.
Except the woman his family taught him to forget.
Esther.
As Goodness approaches the end of an impossibly long life, the Book begins demanding the one story he has refused to tell. To finally rest, he must uncover what happened to Esther, confront the promise that erased her, and understand why the dead have kept him for more than a century.
Because some people don't haunt houses.
They haunt the places where their names should have been.
GOODNESS is a sweeping Black Southern gothic novel about ancestry, family, murder, memory, survival, and the radical power of saying:
She lived.
